The registration is nothing new. There is little or no stigma attached to being registered as a sex worker, depending on your family but I suppose, like in most western countries, the natives are far less than the other nationalities working in this field. It's not at all a bad thing being in the system, it's just like any other job: pay tax, contribute to pension schemes, being able to prove you're legit etc.
In fact, the mentality is quite open minded. Sometimes too open minded, as the dole office even suggests it to unemplyed women
