More and more students turn to the sex industry for work. Last year alone there were about 550+ brothels in Melbourne, most of which are small businesses.
Students are turning to brothels in order to find work which pays well. Some enjoy it because of the high amount of money that they get from working there.
According to the Age many of them go on to become managers of brothel. Most of them enjoy the work but there are some which don't.
In Victoria alone there is about 800 brothels, about 523 of them are a part of a smaller company.
According to the CAV report it said that many of them were happy to work there.
But there are a lot of diseases in the brothels, though and some students may be unprotected. Also the work is done after dark in a lonely street.
Clients pay somewhere between $100-$400. A licensed brothel usually gives most of the money to the girl but an unlicensed one keeps half the profit to themselves. A license is aroudn $90-$200 per year.
The disadvantages
Social stigma is one of them. Many workers cannot tell anyone that they work in this industry for fear of being stigmatised. Some of them felt discriminated against
Also the hours and work per week varies and they may have to move places. Some of the workers hated that.
Diseases are widespread so its easy for a worker to get an STI (sexually transmitted infection)
The advantages
Workers get to take home about $1000 a week and some don't have to speak English.
It is also easy for those to work the 20 hours a week.
