Seminar, Lecture, Talk Roundtable meeting on Empowerment and Wellness of Migrant Domestic Workers: Explorations for Cross-sector Collaborations between Field & Academic Experts Migrant domestic workers (MDWs) contribute to Hong Kong society through their care work, and by enabling labour force participation, mainly of Hong Kong women. Many implicitly assume this is “win-win” and that MDWs’ wages translate into short- and longer-term socio-economic gain for them and their families. However, researchers, NGOs, and practitioners have highlighted the challenges that prevent this happy outcome, and many have made migrant workers’ empowerment and wellness the key pillars of their research, programming, advocacy and policy-making.
