ABSTRACT
This chapter explains the common sex-work scenarios in which migrants are found working big clubs, small flats, rural areas, hybrid tourist zones and the street. It describes the informal status of sex businesses is linked to job markets for migrants. Migrants who have left their own children behind to make money abroad caring for others' children face tremendous emotional dangers, feelings of guilt, inadequacy and rage. But again, given the lack of regulation in the sex industry, there is no reason why migrants cannot work in any and all jobs. In the case of Almera, two kinds of informal labour, agricultural and sexual, are linked with each other and with migration. Although researchers and NGOs have been working with migrants who sell sex for nearly 20 years in Europe, publication of their findings remains outside mainstream press and journals. Official recognition of so few economic activities constructs an inflexible, unchanging centre and large, ever-expanding margins.
