The persistent shortage of men and increasing social imbalance in Latvia have forced women to resort to a unique and interesting service called ‘Husband for an Hour’. Under this service, women can pay a few euros and call such men who do small household chores and repairs. This service is becoming increasingly popular in the country because the number of men is continuously decreasing compared to women. According to the Daily Star report, Latvian women are more educated, healthier and live longer than men. Many women go abroad in search of relationships. For this reason, a large number of women in the country are left alone.

The companies operating these services promote their employees by calling them “men with golden hands”. These men can be booked at any time online or over the phone and reach the woman’s home within 60 minutes. Their main work is to fix leaking taps, mount TV, assemble home furniture and take care of minor repairs. For many women, these services not only provide convenience but also, in a way, fulfill the lack of a ‘capable man’ in their lives.
