In this video I discuss the ugly economics of pretty privilege. I go into the economics of thinness and how the lower a woman's BMI and body fat percentage, the higher the income she is likely to generate. This discussion is based on data from the Economist, as well as data presented by Dr. Kendall Park, a sociology professor at Vanderbilt University. Furthermore, I talk about the economics of pretty privilege when it comes to colorism and thinness as it comes to financial prospects within relationships.
