Rising demand for Filipino maids in Qatar
Philippine Overseas Labour Office (POLO) in Doha has been receiving an average of 12 to 15 contracts of Filipino household service workers (HSWs) for verification daily during the past three months, labour attaché Leopoldo De Jesus told Gulf Times.
“This is an indication that HSWs are being deployed to Qatar,” he said. With increasing demands coming from different families and employers, De Jesus disclosed that some recruitment agencies have been applying for job orders to supply the required workers.
Asked about their salaries, he said employers have agreed to give “good salaries and benefits” to the new batch of workers recruited from the Philippines.
“Many nationalities and Qatari families have been looking for Filipino HSWs in the past months and I am glad that we were able to supply their needs,” he said.
Ambassador Crescente Relacion earlier told Gulf Times that the number of Overseas Filipino workers (OFWs) in Qatar has been decreasing since last year. This was partly because of the Philippine government’s imposition of a $400 minimum wage for Filipina housemaids.
