Rise in sex trade predicted in Cambodia

ABC Radio Australia

Cambodia expects an increase in prostitution and human trafficking as the unemployment rate climbs during the economic downturn.

The country's secretary of state Chou Bun Eng, says the financial crisis will lead more women and girls to look for 'riskier jobs'.

Cambodia's economy is expected to shrink this year due to a slowdown in garment exports and a drop in tourist numbers.

Many female factory workers forced to return home after being laid-off are among those thought to be at risk of sexual exploitation.
