Thinking Activity- The Rover
Prostitution is low‐skill, labor intensive, female, and well paid. This paper proposes a marriage market explanation to this puzzle. If a prostitute compromises her marriage market prospects, she will have to be compensated for forgone marriage market opportunities. We discuss the link between poverty and prostitution and show that prostitution may decrease with male income if wives and prostitutes are drawn from the same pool of women. We point to the role of male sex ratios, and males in transit, in sustaining high levels of prostitution, and we discuss possible reasons for its low reputation and implications for marriage patterns.
Prostitution and marriage of noble woman in society sometimes we considered both are based on financial negotiations why? Answer that any woman she can find partner with not only virtue or looks matter more important is wealth "if he can afford me then I can marry him " Same dialogue use at business of prostitution. In society of this time we can observed over nearest people they can marry only 'Government Officer' it's now like trend in society if you love someone tell him get the government job my mother father has not object over social Aunties not even object of relationship it's like fashion of society.
We can observe all time in our daily routine or life Boys or Man can no matter of the beauty,wealth, education he just consider if she woman that enough on the other hand girls or woman can seen everything he have the quality of good look, Bike or Car, clothes, education, his friends, his Mobile noticed every to related with him after all set she can get relationship.
Prostitution and marriage they both nearer business we can't judge or separate them both ones I can said is not love but partners are matters prostitution changes customers marriage is as all about one partner but both wealth is most important to pleasure or love.
We tested the hypothesis that demographic shortages of suitable marital partners not only lower the probability of marriage, but increase the likelihood that never-married women will either: (a) marry men with characteristics dissimilar to their own or (b) marry men with low socioeconomic status. This analysis was accomplished using data from the 1979-1986 waves of the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, merged with various local-area sex ratios from the 1980 decennial U.S. Census. We found that a favorable marriage market, measured in terms of the relative number of men to women, increases the odds of marrying a high-status man compared with a low-status man (as measured in terms of education and occupation). It also increases the chance of forgoing marriage rather than marrying low-status men. At the same time, we found little evidence that mate surpluses or deficits in the local marriage market affect patterns of homogamy or assortative mating. The implication is that market conditions— good or bad—have little to do with women's willingness to marry heterogamously. Women are unwilling to “cast a wider net” in the face of market constraints.
