The All China Federation of Trade Unions is carrying out a program across the country to promote employment in the household service sector.
As part of its efforts to aid migrant workers, ACFTU plans to make the new program a benchmark for similar operations. Li Peizhi, the vice director of the Social Security Department of ACFTU, said that trade unions at all levels would take four measures this year to train 200,000 household maids and aim to have more than 90% of them employed.
The four measures are said to be guiding more laid-off workers and migrant workers to engage in household service; improving the service level and ethic of housekeepers; enhancing the employment of housekeepers; and developing a harmonious relationship between household maids, household service companies, and family employers.
