UK students turn to sex to fund costs
A newly-released study says about one in 20 UK students has worked in the sex industry to earn money while at university.
The study which is part of a larger project of the University of Swansea titled ‘Student Sex Work Project’ is the culmination of three years’ research involving 6750 students.
According to the study, amid growing tuition fees and rising living costs, over 50 percent of student sex workers in Britain are motivated by the need to earn money
The research also said more men than women engage in sex work, while both sexes engage in ‘direct’ and ‘indirect’ activities. Direct sex work involves contact with clients and includes prostitution. Indirect work, however, includes modeling and phone sex.
Young people studying in the UK today can expect to leave university with about £50,000 of debt when maintenance loans are factored in. This figure could be larger when personal debt is included.
More than half of UK universities charge £9,000 per year for tuition fees, the maximum allowed by law.
