The Ministry of Employment and Labor announced on the 22nd that it has published a casebook on excellent companies certified by the government as providers of domestic services.


As of February this year, there are 101 government-certified domestic service providers. The government certification system for domestic services was introduced in June last year to improve the quality of domestic services and protect the rights of domestic workers.


The government certifies domestic service providers that meet legal requirements and offers incentives such as partial reduction of social insurance premiums and exemption from value-added tax.


While typical employment agencies 'introduce' domestic workers to households, these certified institutions directly employ domestic workers and provide services to customers.



Ko Pyo-dong, Director of Employment Support Policy at the Ministry of Employment and Labor, said, "We will devise various support policies to further expand certified institutions in the future."
