Prostitution Now A Required Employment Skill For Immigrants In New Zealand


Prostitution Now A Required Employment Skill For Immigrants In New Zealand
This story from New Zealand has brought some relief to some group of people around the world especially those who had been looking for opportunities in that space.
New Zealand now list prostitution as an added skill for any immigrant coming to stay or work in the country.

From all indications the skill is enshrined in their law as providing social companionship in the Australian and New Zealand Standard Classification of Occupations (ANZSCO) list.

In order to meet the criteria of a highly qualified s*x worker, would-be migrants will be expected to have ANZSCO skill level 5. The requirements issued by ANZSCO also include compulsory secondary education.

However, applicants of ANZSCO level 5 cannot be classified as skilled unless their pay is more than NZ$36.44 (US$25.87) per hour, which is NZ$75,795 (US$53,818) per year based on a 40-hour week.

“Even though prostitution is a lawful occupation, it is not an occupation that an immigrant can undertake on a temporary visa, s*x work is specifically accepted,” said Peter Moses, an NZAMI spokesman and lawyer specializing in immigration law.

“An applicant would have to be onshore lawfully and not working, or off-shore while applying for residence. And they would need a formal offer of employment – also not the rule,”

The legislation to decriminalize s*x work, known as the Prostitution Reform Act, was passed through New Zealand’s parliament in 2003 in a tumultuous vote. The decision to legalize prostitution, which had previously been widespread but hidden, was welcomed by many in the country.

The move to turn prostitution into a legal occupation was intended to safeguard sex workers’ human rights, and to protect them from exploitation. Today, New Zealand is known for offering the best working conditions for prostitutes.

Although an evaluation of the act’s operation in 2008 demonstrated that the number of s*x workers didn’t grow as a result of the legislation, the social stigma surrounding involvement in the sex industry persists.
