Working Conditions in Sex Work

Several countries in Europe have regulated sex work with the intention of being able to better monitor workers, and thus also improve the working conditions. Nevertheless, sex workers still belong to a socially marginalised group that faces legal and social barriers when practising their profession. The stigmatised nature of this area of work is also reflected in the scientific literature which shows large gaps, especially from an (occupational) psychological perspective. This study seeks to close this gap.

This study aims to identify relevant psychosocial job demands and resources and model them using the Job Demands-Resources (JD-R) model.
