During the Cabinet of Ministers weekly meeting, the government announced that it will allow for the recruitment of new domestic workers starting January 17.
The resumption comes after Kuwait halted the recruitment of new domestic workers almost more than 10 months ago. Many domestic workers within Kuwait have left their current employment and entered the black market as the ban was put in place compelled with travel restrictions,
Brokers have been providing domestic workers’ services illegally and at a high price due to the closure of recruitment agencies. These brokers have been advertising the services of domestic workers for 25 Kuwaiti dinars per hour and 250 Kuwaiti dinars per month.
A source told Al Qabas that the domestic worker gets 10 Kuwaiti dinars for four hours of work and 15 Kuwait dinars goes to the broker.
A source from the Public Authority for Manpower pointed out that the domestic workers entered Kuwait through recruitment agencies and then they quit their jobs, thinking that they will be able to make more money working for various employers rather than just one.
