AWARE is interviewing individuals who have hired foreign domestic workers (FDWs) to help look after an elderly person (above the age of 67) in Singapore, anytime from January 2018 and onwards.

This is part of our ongoing research to understand the experiences of family caregivers and FDWs. We aim to raise your challenges to policymakers, and make relevant policy recommendations. From this interview, we hope to understand employers’ perspectives and experiences in hiring an FDW for eldercare purposes.

As an employer, you will be asked about your experiences with your latest FDW (hired in 2018 or after), including: hiring, deciding on her working conditions and responsibilities, training, developing a working relationship with her, transferring/repatriating, etc.
