the model i outlined above differs from the OP in that i'd provide a better economic incentive for the employees (roughly 4x the min wage)

if you hire young people (assuming local labor laws make it legal to do so) from families destitute enough to sell their daughters to pimps and let their sons beg on the streets to supplement family income, then you won't really need to spend that much on wageS. the key is to keep the families (whose head of household only has less than grade one education) happY. in essence, you hire the family not just the "employeE".
you shouldn't limit the pay incentives to moneY. random free bags of rice (sometimes pork and beans, and sardines) for Mom and Dad from time to time, free ruler, pencil boxes, erasers, and crayons for sister, cheap made in China toys (the kinds sold at 99 cent only stores in the US) for little brother, 4 hours free play at the company's used Nintendo 64 and Sega per week for the player, etC. by doing these in addition to the 30 bucks/per month that you pay the employee, you can gain a lot of loyalty at minimum cosT. plus, you will be helping the community by making a lot of people smile (an unexpected pork and beans delivered by you to the home just when the family is about to begin eating rice with water and salt for dinner would easily do this and would even make them feel a great debt of gratitude towards yoU).
you really have to learn to be more creative than just merely connecting employee satisfaction with higher wageS. you can gain as much loyalty with cheap perks for the entire family not just the employeE.
