ANNEXED NOTE

 

1. Technical Notes and Definitions

 

Data are extracted from the Domestic Workers System of the Labour Market Regulation Authority (LMRA)

 

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.

The figures also include domestic work permits due for renewal that have not been terminated or cancelled by the employer.
