I think people get too hung up on economic reasons when instead they should be paying very close attention to where the coercion (if any) is coming from because I think there's much less of a difference between getting into sex work because one loves sex and getting into sex work because one loves the things sex work can buy for oneself than there is between either of those two and getting into sex work because there's a pimp that needs paying (or a severe drug addiction that needs funding).

Also, you guys aren't allowed to work more than 40 hrs/ week? how do you ever go from rags to multi millionaires on 40 hours a week? Is it just all old money and a bunch of poor to middle class people largely dependent on the government over there or something?

You can work as much as you want if you're self-employed. But regular employee contracts are limited to full-time.

Overtime is not allowed to be regularly above the weekly limit. As a full-time student you're not allowed to work more than 20hrs/week. Even with multiple contracts/companies there is a limit on hours you're allowed to work.

It's all a worker's protection issue. Tired workers are dangerous workers and workers that will cost the health service more in the end.
