YOWICH!

This sounds disturbingly similar to what’s happening in too many parts of SE Asia!

I think that as a country prospers and its citizenry can better afford to NOT have to sell their daughters, this phenomenon happens.

But if Jakarta is gonna clamp down on going overseas as maids, then it must also provide employment at home; so perhaps a more plentiful supply?

I am not optimistic though that prices are gonna moderate; I think what will happen is that even though more places will be allowed to open, such will be controlled to only offer higher priced services and less “in your face” type of offerings.

Just musing.
