Foreign Housekeepers in Japan: A Model for a Changing Workforce The popularity of Filipino housekeeping staff in Japan's growing market is not just a niche trend, but a symptom of broader shifts in the country's workforce and labor policies.
Changes to Japan's labor laws in 2015 allowed foreigners to work in designated areas, driving an influx of foreign workers, particularly from the Philippines.
Pinay International, a Tokyo based company employing over 200 Filipino housekeepers across multiple prefectures, is a major beneficiary of these changes.
