Nationalräkenskapernas produktionsgräns och prostitutionen: En jämförelse mellan Nederländerna och Sverige

Abstract

Both Statistics Netherlands and Statistics Sweden have estimated value added in the illegal economy. According to the System of National Accounts 1993 all economic activities that are made by willingly engagement of buyers and sellers should be included in the national accounts. This paper provides a comparison between the two estimations of prostitution. By addressing theories on sexuality and prostitution the production boundary is discussed in relation to prostitution and unpaid household production and the question is raised if prostitution could be included in the historical national accounts
