This comment is for perspective: If... and the result's dependent on the if... the worker saves at a high rate, i.e. dormitory and meals are free, and there really isn't a lot to do in these factory mini cities, and saves for 5 years, they'll have enough after those 5 years to pay outright for a new 40-50m2 ish apartment in many T3 cities, so that'll be by around age 23-25. A couple, double the size place, or a place further out in many T2s. It's not a high wage, but not a terrible wage as long as the benefits are included.
