Nine Chinese Ministries Jointly Issue 19 Measures for High-Quality Home-Service Development
MOFCOM and eight other ministries released a 2026 policy package supporting branded, professional and digital home services — including insurance products, credit-platform integration and vocational skill certification.
In July 2026, China's Ministry of Commerce (MOFCOM) together with eight other central departments issued a package of measures to drive high-quality development of the domestic and home-service industry. The document frames home services as a key sector for boosting consumption, improving livelihoods and stabilising employment.
What the 19 measures cover
The package supports branded home-service enterprises, encourages smart-service scenarios, and expands home-based elderly and childcare services. It explicitly calls for insurance products tailored to home services — covering personal injury, property loss and liability for both workers and employers.
On the trust side, the policy strengthens the national home-service credit-information platform: multi-dimensional credit data on workers is consolidated, and authorised credit checks are provided to workers, enterprises and consumers. It also promotes vocational skill-level certification and industry-led training consortia.
What it means for platforms
For digital platforms such as HUWO, the direction is clear: standardised assessment, verifiable credentials, insured transactions and credit-platform integration now have explicit regulatory tailwinds. Platforms that combine AI evaluation, on-duty service logging and insurance partnerships align directly with the national agenda.
