They usually aren’t “employed” though, as far as I know, as in having employment contracts. That’s the new thing they’re doing in Belgium, they’re now entitled to a contract that guarantees adherence to labour laws.
That most sex workers are self-employed in Germany is a result of the strict employment laws, in particular, if you employ a baker and tell them to knead bread and they refuse then you can fire them. Can’t do that with a sex worker as they can refuse to serve any client for any or no reason.
It’s not like there’s no employed sex workers but the more usual model is that a brothel provides a room, security, and a lobby and sex workers pay for the use of those with money they make off their clients. Just like running a business in a mall, but a particular kind of business in a particular kind of mall.

Sounds like they’re “entitled” to have to find a boss to work for in order to benefit from this law, unless the government provides maternity pay for freelancers?

That’s disgusting, those kind of malls, which one though, where, just so I can avoid them.
Haha very funny. Try google and definitely come sober, freshly showered and in a fresh set of clothes.
Well it’s a IASIP reference, ofc it’s funny.
My sample size of one prostitute I know was actually employed in a bordello. She loved her job but quit when she entered a monogamous relationship.
