Abstract

This
study examines domestic worker issue in Qatar, and aims to increase awareness
on the negative aspects of non-parental childcare on children’s growth. The findings
shows that in Qatar many people have between 1 to 3 domestic workers. They find
domestic workers to be highly important in their lives, but do not consider
them trustworthy. Yet, many people give full responsibility of their house and
chores to the workers, especially the responsibility of taking care of their children.
Moreover, a high percentage of domestic workers are spending more time with
children than their parents do, and children are losing touch with their mother
language due to the non-parental care.
