You're still looking at the best case scenario (ie. a person willingly entering into prostitution), while blind to the worst. The are reason why unions, minimum wage, unemployment insurance, universal healthcare is so common around the world.

How do any of those things fix slavery? Or are you using a different definition for "willing" more akin to "would strongly prefer to".

I don't understand your questions exactly, but I was differentiating between "I do prostitution because I don't mind it and I make lots of money" vs. "I have to sleep with landlord because my minimum wage job doesn't pay the rent".
