but rather ensure no one is forced to take any job less they starve.

Is that literally "less they starve", or a broader "provides basic needs beyond nutrition"?

If the latter, would you mind giving a short overview of what you consider those basic needs to be?

Indeed not literally "not starve", although in some very poor countries that might be the best one can achieve realistically.

Anything that gives a person the relatively comfortable choice of not taking a job for some time. What that is and how long is context/country specific, but it is important to make sure that people have a reasonably solid bargaining position when negotiating with potential employers. And even better when they can do so collectively with the help of unions or similar professional organizations.
