Idle hands too
Under German employment law, women under the age of 55 may be forced into prostitution or lose their benefits. This is deranged (via Knowledge is Power).
A 25-year-old waitress who turned down a job providing "sexual services'' at a brothel in Berlin faces possible cuts to her unemployment benefit under laws introduced this year. Prostitution was legalised in Germany just over two years ago and brothel owners – who must pay tax and employee health insurance – were granted access to official databases of jobseekers.
