Modern slaves: how and why in Taiwan they “buy housekeepers”

Housekeepers in Taiwan are not uncommon. Many families do not spend time on household chores, but hire a person. This person, as often happens in other countries, is most likely a migrant, the locals do not really want to be servants.
The market of housekeepers and maids is replenished by girls from poorer countries - Vietnam, the Philippines. Sometimes from Indonesia.
There is even a term “buy a housekeeper” on the market. He implies that they hire a girl from a poorer country, mainly through an agency. Such a girl will try, and for little money to do a variety of work.
Basically, Modern slaves go for a year, two, sometimes three. they are placed in a family and they do everything there - from washing and cooking to working as a personal secretary. But this is if the housekeeper is educated. But many village girls are illiterate.
Because of this, by the way, they then have problems. When families put too many cases on them, they can't even go to the police, they don't know what they can and cannot legally do.
One local said that she remembers how such a girl always helped her in her childhood - she woke her up to school, packed her things with her, made sure that she did not forget anything. A kind of Mary Poppins, except that in addition to helping with the children, she also did more difficult work.
Not to say that this market is huge in Taiwan, no. Basically, because not everyone can afford such a slave for everyday affairs. But almost everyone has heard about it, and many may remember some story about a Filipina from their neighbors.
Often migrants are hired for the elderly because it is cheaper than a local nurse.
The main bonus of such a “purchase” is that the girl is usually loaded with a variety of jobs. Because of this, the market is considered semi-legal. For example, officially a Filipina travels to the country to look after her grandmother and buy her groceries.
And the local nurse would do just that. And the Filipina is told to wash, wash, cook - and she does all this too, without requiring additional payment.
By the way, they say that in those countries where housekeepers come from, they are not at all against such a “purchase”. This is an opportunity to give girls jobs abroad for the kind of money that can't be made in the Philippines. And no one cares about the nuances.
