Report:
This Report gives an analysis of an innovative policy to reduce social harms
from sex trading among female youth, including adolescents (e.g. survival sex,
prostitution, sex trafficking). The policy consists of early intervention
efforts with adolescent females to prevent and dissuade them from sex
trading. The framework treats the program as an investment project and
calculates its net present value, an analysis from the perspective of the
public budget. That is, both the cost of the program and the specific harms
from sex trading are evaluated in terms of the burden they impose on a
community’s government expenditures.
