Women in Latvia Seek Innovative Solutions for Daily Life Tasks The phenomenon has led to the emergence of platforms offering "temporary husband" servicesLatvia faces an unusual social challenge, with significantly

fewer men than women. This imbalance has pushed many women to look for creative ways to handle everyday tasks, with one notable solution being the rise of services that allow hiring "temporary husbands" for household and repair work.

Experts indicate that this shortage is linked to women’s longer life expectancy, better education, and superior health, making men less present in society compared to women.

Women Booking Men

This situation has given rise to specialized platforms providing services such as hiring men for home maintenance, appliance installation, fixing malfunctions, and even assembling furniture, all for a fixed and reasonable fee.

Some websites, like Komanda24 and Remontdarbi.lv, allow women to easily book these men online or by phone, with rapid service within one hour to perform various household tasks efficiently—earning the service the nickname "Uber for household chores."

Statistics show that men in Latvia experience higher mortality rates, often at younger ages, and are up to four times more likely to commit suicide than women, further increasing the scarcity of men and boosting reliance on these modern services.
