Domestic workers are very common all over Asia. It is shocking for North Americans. There, you can have a maid (to clean house and cook), gardener and maintenance, chauffer, etc. The cost is in the range of U$50 to U$150 a month. Live-in maids and maintenance persons also get free room and board. One of my acquaintances is from Malaysia who became US citizen and live here. His uncles and older brothers came to visit him, they all said something like "Wow, you have to do dishes and wash clothes and clean house yourself?", and of course they are happy to live in Malaysia and would not want to live in US. Besides, they have their own businesses there and they only pay 10% tax. Another friend, an American, taught at a university in Taiwan, and he lived in an apartment complex where the rent included a cook and daily house cleaning for less than rent only in US. That was some 20 years ago.
