“Do this or die” does not imply meaningful choice. It doesn’t matter if that death is from murder or starvation. For all of us who are not independently wealthy “work” is involuntary, but choice of jobs often (but not always) is voluntary.

You are upset that the person does not have good options. But that does change anything - deciding to accept a job offer does not make the work involuntary.
You are focusing out the outcome, but outcomes are not the question here, choices are. The employer is not responsible for the way the universe exists, and they are not forcing the person to live in it.
