What causes the growth of sugar daddy phenomenon?

The SeekingArrangement survey also explains why there are so many sugar daddies in a country: the high cost of education.

Apart from the high cost of education, there is also a gap between rich and poor people which is the cause of the growth of sugar daddy phenomenon.

This survey also explains how many women, especially female students, deliberately seek out older and more established men to make ends meet.

"Platforms like SeekingArrangement help connect potential young women with richer and more affluent men who not only minimize their financial difficulties. But act as mentors or gateways in launching a promising future for the sugar babies," said SeekingArrangement CEO, Brandon Wade, as quoted by Malaymail, Wednesday 17 March.

In addition, the economic boom in the fast-growing Asian region has also brought in many foreign investors to set up businesses in the region. "So it's no surprise why Asia seems to be a hotbed of dating sugar, especially among urban demographics."
