How can we help?
Singapore domestic helpers play a crucial role as both caregivers and support systems for the elderly. They understand the stress and challenges that come with providing care for the elderly, and they are well equipped to help alleviate these burdens. With their expertise in elderly care, domestic helpers in Singapore are able to assist in various aspects of daily living, including personal hygiene, meal preparation, medication management, and companionship. Moreover, they offer emotional support, ensuring the well-being and comfort of the elderly.
However, the domestic helpers in Singapore are facing tremendous caregiver stress due to poor job matching, overwork, and a lack of caregiving-specific support. A recent report titled "Neither Family Nor Employee: the Caregiver Burden of Migrant Domestic Workers in Singapore" highlights the challenges faced by these helpers. The stress, also known as "caregiver burden," is a result of the mismatch between the job requirements and the skills of the domestic workers. Moreover, the excessive workload further adds to the strain they experience. The lack of specialized support and resources specifically designed for caregivers exacerbates their stress levels. These findings shed light on the pressing need for better job matching, reduced work hours, and improved support systems for migrant domestic workers in Singapore.
