Kuwait | Aug 9, 2025 — The Union of Domestic Labor Offices says current fixed recruitment fees set by the Ministry of Commerce are squeezing agencies and limiting the pool of qualified Filipino domestic workers. The union’s president, Khaled Al-Dakhnan, added that only workers who previously served in Kuwait have been eligible since partial reopening, and no salary increase for Filipino workers is being considered at this time. The union is also exploring recruitment from Indonesia and Myanmar.
Key points
-
Fixed pricing is hurting recruitment of experienced candidates.
-
No plans to raise salaries for Filipino domestic workers.
-
Kuwait workforce still relies largely on Asian workers; new source countries under study.
