I think you are looking at it backwards. For a business to be successful they should not have to burden themselves with the livelihood of their employees. Truly businesses should be able to have people working and living close to the working facility as well as eating there. Dorms will be owned by the businesses and employee will either pay for them or have their wages reduced for the cost of living, same for food. If they fall sick they should pay for the missing hours, no hollidays of course or breaks since those are just wasteful idle time spent. Relationships are forbidden as they put productivity at risk. In an ideal world there will no silly government regulation and the market will sort it out, if the people were unhappy with this model it should be possible to import workers from countries with lesser opportunities who would be more than happy to fill the gap. This is how it is going in most productive electronic facilities in china and why USA is falling behind with all those silly regulations killing businesses.
