家政=保姆？ 地位被低估的家政专业是福利社会进阶的利器

Household Management Major

3亿次阅读量和1.4万次讨论让“教育部鼓励高校开设家政专业”的消息当之无愧的荣登热搜榜单,高企的数据,显而易见的昭示了相关话题的全民热度。而就在不久前,上海一则保姆招聘启事也着实火了一把。这份被称为“最苛刻保姆家规”的招聘中,雇主提供给保姆1.2万的月薪,但要求保姆必须背熟并执行20条关于隐私保护、照顾孩子、个人卫生的三部分“家规”,这些家规在网络上引发了不小的争议。

China’s Ministry of Education encourages colleges and universities to set up household management major. This news has aroused widespread concern in the society. As a new industry, the household management service industry can help prefer job security, protect people’s livelihood and liberate more people from poverty. However, skilled practitioners in the market are in short supply. Under such circumstances, setting up household management major is becoming necessary. In fact, the major has a long history of development and distinctive culture in the US, the UK, Korea, Japan and the Philippines. Now China is ready to join them and go on this road. But it’s not an easy thing on account of people’s prejudice against household management service and their stereotypes of domestic workers. There is still a long way to go.
