Description and Table of Contents
Description
Focuses on the commercial sex sector and its institutional structures and connections with the national and international economies. Case studies of Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Thailand are included. The text examines how vested economic interests and unequal social relations between the sexes and between parents and children interact with considerations based on human rights, workers' rights, morality, criminality, and health threats to influence the legal stance adopted by governments and the social programmes targeting the sex sector. A chapter specifically addresses child prostitution and explains why it should be treated as a much more serious problem than adult prostitution.
