Third World: Governments
built 607 days ago
After World War II, the capitalist Western and the communist Eastern blocs fought to expand their spheres of influence to the Third World. The military and intelligence services of the U.S. and the U.S.S.R. worked secretly and publicly to influence Third World governments, with relative success.

Third world governments are often encouraged (by the IMF etc.) to develop their tourism and entertainment industries - meaning ... a parallel sex industry. In Thailand, somewhere between one in 120 and one in 60 of the entire population are women working as prostitutes. One in 20 of those women are enslaved. Those who deal in prostitutes make a fortune. According to a CIA report, traffickers receive about $7000 dollars for each woman delivered to the US and the pimp gangs then get something like $215,000 dollars per month from her work. Prostitution is a growing industry - along with the growing international tourism industry.20 There are also many reports of maids, mail order brides and other domestic workers being trafficked, tricked and enslaved.

Some governments in the third world have begun serious consideration of creating legislation making it legal for a worker to request such an arrangement. After taking a vacation, the worker, is given the option of returning for another qualification period with full minimum wages, or continuing on vacation until retirement age.
