Abstract

The relationship between migration and development has become increasingly prominent in recent years, elevating international migration to a high priority on the global agenda. However, in Arab, the role of women is also changing from being housewives to working women, and the rate of Filipina employees also increases. However, there is a gap in exploring the relationship between Saudi working women and Filipina employees. An interview-based study was conducted in different places, such as medical facilities, schools, and communities, to fill this gap. This study sheds light on the complex economic and social relationships between Saudi female employees and Filipino migrant domestic workers. Also, it contributes attention to the economic, social, and emotional complexities of employee-employer relationship, and how does the adoption of Filipinas contribute to the evolution of the role of Saudi women. This study suggests that both Saudi working women and Filipina employees are navigating diverse and non-traditional approaches to embodying gender and family roles. Despite these variations, they actively establish or safeguard their respective ideals of family life.
