Hello! I am from the Philippines and I am living in Denmark. I am an accompanying spouse to my Filipino husband who is working as a pharmacovigilance specialist. I am also working as an early childhood educator in an international kindergarten. I have a couple of people in my network who have worked as au pairs in Denmark. They do not live in basements and they were not mistreated by their hosts. They have college degrees back home. Your mention about the Philippines has some valid points, but may I suggest that you use the terms developing country or middle-income economy? Also please consider how your Filipino readers will respond when making overgeneralizations.
Wasn't there a discussion about ten years ago to increase the scope of the au pair programme to including living with elderly people without children in the house? That was sort of saying the quiet part out loud.
