I think prostitution is still high in today times but it is done in a more quiet way and in ways of just making not for taking care of families but some is just for fun and bad habits. During the Victorian Era I think that increase of prostitution came from the economy being so bad. And during that time men did not believe in starting a family such as having kids or getting married unless they have some decent amount of money coming into their household. Also women was not even getting near the pay the men were getting in the factories , as the working conditions was so horrible. Most women felt it was better to just do prostitution because they could make more money and even be in a cleaner environment than it a factory during that time. I think we have somewhat address that cause because the jobs now a days hiring women, pay better and better work environments.
