The sex industry has always been a profitable industry. One can find this to be the case in many parts of the world. But what is it that makes the Vietnamese "Pleasure Industry" different? By using the works of Nguyen-Vo (Governing the Social: Prostitution and Liberal governance in Vietnam during Marketization) and Tran (Through the eye of the Needle: Vietnamese Textile and Garment Industries, Rejoining the Global Economy), I will discuss the problematic conditions of women in lower economic class of Vietna

How can the government of Vietnam expect these girls to change when they are taught to live a tedious and wearisome life? They are forced to change from making a hundred dollars a night to maybe half a dollar a day. Surviving is just impossible, considering the amount of work they put in and the income it yields. In order to preserve their souls they create a theme for themselves. By reentering the "Pleasure Market", they truly believed that, "Sex was a service to be provided for a monetary price, and their female surrender to conquest was only a surface exchange" (Nguyen-vo, 116).

"Opening Vietnam" to the world has not only created many social inequalities, but it has implemented the "Burden of Capitalism" where the "rich get richer and the poor get poorer". In particular the Women of the lower class find themselves as the bearer of this growing problem. It is they who provide the energy to make Vietnam a small tiger in the garment industry. Cheap labor and horrendous working conditions create a social catastrophe for country of Vietnam. In addition with the spread of endemic corruption, Vietnam finds itself on the verge of anarchy. I would claim that it is the men with money that run the country, just like the rest of the world.
