Online platform to maintain information on domestic helpers

Domestic helpers or home services companies that fail to meet standards will be blacklisted and punished, according to a guideline released in early March by the Ministry of Commerce and the National Development and Reform Commission.

According to the guideline, a nationwide online credit platform for domestic helpers will be established and is projected to include the helpers' personal information, work experience and whether they have a criminal record.

Families hiring help will be able to access such information from agencies when employing someone.
