The drop in number of domestic workers in Q2 2018 is due to data cleansing of domestic records during Q2 at LMRA
Includes active domestic work permits for which a residence permit has been issued.
From Q1 2019 onwards, figures of domestic permits were reviewed to include the domestic workers holding active work permit, in addition to in-progress permits issued with a residence permit.
