(123rf)A revised bill to exempt foreign domestic workers from the minimum wage law has been submitted, prompting some to quietly support the move and others to criticize it as discriminatory.South Korea's current minimum wage is 9,620 won ($7.31) per hour, which translates into about 2.1 million won a month. Many Korean full-time domestic workers, of which the pool is not big, get paid close to 3 million won monthly.In places like Singapore, Hong Kong and the United Arab Emirates, live-in helpers from countries with low incomes such as the Philippines can be hired at much lower wages.
