Russian term or phrase: po sravneniiu vot s predydushchim periodom..
The question is:
Has there been an increase in the number of sex-workers 'po sravneniiu vot s predydushchim periodom'?

Does 'period' mean anything specific here, or just 'the past'?

agree  Kirill Semenov: I think it's ok, unless there is a comparison with some specific period of time. It seems that the author of the sentence tends to use a bureaucratic cliches when they are not needed at all. ;-)

Explanation:
not 'previous' but 'last' - (well, it is a previous period - the one preceding the current (at the time of the converstaion) so it is the 'last' one) :-))
