8 May 2020: This survey has closed and we are no longer accepting any more responses. Thank you!

AWARE recognises that foreign domestic workers (FDWs) are facing unique challenges as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak in Singapore. These include unprecedented changes to their living and working conditions, and possibly to their relationships with their employers.

Together with HOME, AWARE aims to take stock of these changes through an online survey. The results will add to AWARE’s ongoing research on foreign domestic workers performing eldercare in Singapore.

We are currently seeking two groups of people for this: FDWs who can take a simple survey, and volunteer interviewers who can assist them.

Survey-takers (domestic workers)

To take this survey, you must be a domestic worker looking after an older person (above the age of 67) in Singapore.

This survey has closed.

If you have completed the survey, please note that we will not be able to mail out the $10 NTUC vouchers until after Singapore’s circuit breaker is lifted. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Please note:

• By answering the questions in the form, you give AWARE consent to use the information collected for research and advocacy purposes.
• All responses will be kept confidential. Your identifying details will never be used in public communications.
• Respondents will receive a $10 NTUC voucher as a token of appreciation for participating.

Volunteer interviewers

Thank you to all who have volunteered to assist with conducting this survey over the phone for FDWs who need translation! We have received an enthusiastic response and at this point, we are closing applications.

If you have any questions about this research, please email Preethi at projects@aware.org.sg
