People from Seoul’s Affluent Areas Primarily Hiring Filipina Caregivers

I had said before that the Filipina caregivers will likely be hired by people who already have caregivers in order to save money. It appears that is what is happening:

Nearly four out of 10 households in Seoul that will hire Filipino caregivers starting in September are located in the affluent southern parts of the capital, according to the Seoul Metropolitan Government, Wednesday.

The hiring of Filipino caregivers by parents in affluent areas under the government’s pilot program aimed at addressing the nation’s low birthrate suggests the initiative may not fully meet its expectations. This trend indicates that the program, intended to offer affordable support through foreign caregivers, might not be effectively reaching all parents as initially hoped.

You can read more at the link, but something I did not anticipate is that people hiring these Filipina caregivers are also using them as in-house English teachers for their kids.

People from the Philippines are motivated to do a good job. Lots of them in nursing, dental assistant roles in Texas. Probably more; but I only see whatvI see…

Korea is already being presented with lessons.

Let’s see how long it takes to learn them.

How long did it take to learn the lessons from 3rd world brides for Korean farmers?

There used to be a foreign bride marriage broker on every block. Now there isn’t.

But, perhaps you are right.

Maybe it is the foreign brides who learned their lesson.

Why would you need foreign bride marriage brokers when so many foreign women are clamoring to marry any loser Korean man rich or poor who can pick and choose? Ask Setnaffa’s daughters and his granddaughters. Come on. seriously.

Given chez setnaffa is in Texas, and there are no little half-Koreans running around the East Wing, I am forced to think the chinabots are choking chickens fantasizing about my DNA again.

And that’s just plain weird…
