Read a article which showed a survey which was presented to a Aids
conference in Durban 2016. This is a summary of the survey.
594 sex workers were interviewed , 412 were migrants. The
migrant workers were from Thailand , China, Korea & NZ. One
in 5 were married , one in 3 were parents & while a small number
had little education the majority were highly educated. 1/3 said
they did not speak English well. The majority would see 10 to 30
clients per week. Most were receiving 50 % plus cut similar to their
Aust counterparts. Most migrants were satisfied with their conditions
& that they intended to stay long term, but biggest complaint was
homesickness & isolation from family & boredom from lack of
nightlife etc. The survey estimated 20000 pro's in Aust & 15 % of
men paid for it in Aust. Survey said 43 % had enrolled in education,
1/4 said they travelled to Aust to get married & 12 % said they
entered as tourists. 1/4 said broker assist them, 1/4 on their own
& others says assisted by fiancé , husband or boyfriend.
Most participants main reason for being a pro was to support family,
relatives back home & 30 % said paying education was main
reason. 8 % were spending money on gambling compared to 5%
Aust. No migrants spent money on drugs compared to 16 % Aust.
The survey results seem to be what I thought though the one in
5 married & 1 in 3 have kids I was surprised. From u
experiences does this survey presented to the conference
sound accurate.
