Israel has demanded about 300 caregivers a week after the Nepali government requested it to open its job market for Nepali women. “We have received a demand for 300 caregivers under government-to-government employment,“ said secretary of ministry of labour and employment Suresh Man Shrestha. “The demand is a pilot project for the government-to-government process.“ About 7,500 Nepali women have been working in the caregiver sector in the destination. Israel had closed its door to Nepali caregivers on April 24, 2010, after 1,000 women were found to be staying there in an illegal status.
