Abstract
This article critically considers dominant explanations of young people’s involvement in
prostitution, focusing particularly on young adults, in the light of neo-liberal policy developments
and the workfare state. It argues that these explanations are limited by the fact that they fail to take
into account the underlying conditions that make involvement a viable option. By taking account of
these conditions, and the ways in which young people may exercise agency within them, the article
offers a more nuanced account of young people’s involvement in prostitution.
