In recent years, women's federations at all levels have taken proactive actions, vigorously promoting the development of women's domestic services as a crucial measure to boost women's employment and income, serve the elderly and children, and assist families in resolving difficulties. This effort has involved advancing digital services and the "one place, one product" initiative, nurturing and supporting women's domestic service enterprises (organizations), training millions of employees annually, and helping millions of women find employment in the domestic service sector. Additionally, significant progress has been made in bringing women's domestic services to communities, establishing nearly 10,000 service sites in communities, aiming to bridge the final 100 meters of domestic service delivery and bring these services to every household.
