Graduates entering domestic services sector by choice

By Mao Shoulong | China Daily | Updated: 2024-11-30 00:00

Traditionally, domestic work is associated with basic household tasks such as cleaning, cooking, taking care of children and doing the laundry. For years, domestic work has been viewed as unglamorous, particularly in more conservative societies where domestic work is often seen as servitude and carries a negative connotation.

But thanks to rapid socioeconomic development and changes in family structure, the domestic services sector has been undergoing a profound transformation, with an increasing number of college graduates entering the field, bringing with them expert knowledge, skills and innovative thinking. These factors are driving the modernization of the sector.

But are college graduates "wasting" their talent by seeking employment as domestic workers? Or is their choice a rational response to evolving industry trends?
