Why has it become so popular in Peru?
First, the high cost of private higher education - which can exceed S/. 4,000 per month in universities such as PUCP or UPC - makes many young women look for alternatives to finance their studies without depending on limited scholarships or credits with high interest rates.
Secondly, the peruvian influencers boom openly sharing their experiences on TikTok and Instagram has normalized the conversation. Content creators with thousands of followers give tips, share anecdotes and tutorials on how to put together an attractive profile or negotiate a deal, raising the standard of what is expected on both sides.
Finally, the generation gap in purchasing power plays a key role.

This difference creates the conditions for both parties to find value in this type of relationship.
