Seoul's Yeongdeungpo-gu district will start a free job consulting service for migrant housewives who face difficulties getting work in Korea.
The district said two professional consultants will work at its multicultural family support center from Wednesday to provide the employment service.
The consultants will find companies that are looking for foreign workers and give the information to women who match more than 50 percent of the company's job criteria. They will also accompany applicants to job interviews.
"Migrant housewives often suffer from financial difficulties in this country," a district official said. "We hope many foreign housewives can be economically independent and settle well in this country through our personalized job consulting program."
Migrant housewives looking for a job can request the service by calling the Yeongdeungpo-gu Multicultural Family Support Center on 02-845-5433.
