BBC Radio 4—Moving on from sex work

I really like her.

MOVING ON FROM SEX WORK
The latest research conducted by Dr Teela Sanders
into sex workers investigates the circumstances under which they leave the sex industry.  This can be a response to external events or a planned transition into another career. 
Dr Sanders uses this research to argue that it is the role of sex workers that is deviant rather than their careers and to suggest ways in which policy could be framed to be more supportive of these women and their decisions.

THE CHALLENGE OF AFFLUENCE
The market promises us more choices, but is that guaranteed to increase our sense of wellbeing?  And how confident can we be of making the decisions which are in our best interests. 

Sex work, or prostitution, is the provision of sexual services for money or its equivalent (Harcourt and Donovan 2005). Currently most sex work has a strong economic basis, primarily as a source of income for sex workers, but also for dependent kin and associates including pimps, managers, and ancillary workers

It can be considered as an economic activity. An employment or labour perspective is a necessary, if not sufficient. On this point of view, sexual labour is a primary source of profit and wealth and is a ‘constituent part of national economics and transnational industries with the global capitalize economy’ (K. Kempadoo and J. Doezema 1998).
