Sex Work to Pay for European Tuition Bills

A survey by a German research center found that one in three university students in Berlin would consider sex work (defined as prostitution, erotic dancing or Internet shows) to pay for tuition, Reuters reported. Four percent of the students reported that they had already used sex work to pay their expenses. Eva Blumenschein, one of the study's authors, told Reuters that reforms designed to speed up degree completion may encourage sex work. "It's possible that because educational reforms have increased student workloads, they have less time to earn money," she said. "Coupled with higher student fees, in this instance, leads students into prostitution."
