How does the government's approach balance the benefits of employer-provided housing with the need to prevent exploitation of migrant workers?

This policy shift responds to concerns about employers exploiting migrant workers by overcharging for housing or using housing as a means of control. The government aims to balance the benefits of employer-provided housing (expedited access for new arrivals) with the need to protect workers from unfair practices and dependency. The planned phase-out will reduce the power imbalance between employers and employees.
