European Prostitution

In Europe prostitution is a big problem. In a lot of Northern European countries the prostitute ratio per 1000 population is around 1 and 2. The larger cities tend to have more problems with prostitution than the smaller cities do. In countries like Germany 50 percent of prostitutes are local, and a lot of them like to migrant between the European countries. Below is a link to see a table of the prostitution ratio between the population and prostitutes.

Do you think America or the European countries have more problems with prostitution? I would have to say the European countries do.

Wow! I knew that prostitution has always been a somewhat large industry, but when i hear of prostitutes traveling from country to country, it makes me shocked. Still, what startles me even more is why in the world would someone want to sell their own body for money. Prostitution in Europe looks as if it is growing rapidly, which is a horrible thing to think about.
