We live in a very connected world. The best and cheapest thing to do now is to provide quality services. Massively educating the population towards expertise in all kinds of computer fields. This does not require much investment compared to say some big manufacturing. It takes good education and time.
This is something what India did with their resource of population, created engineer and service based career that mostly to work for cheaper salary to other western countries and I will not say it's bad choice, it is what helped India's middle class to grow to the next level but it has saturation point and now we can see what will happen if service based employment is the sole one's available but that is going to be replaced by something called AI on most occasions that will leaves the remaining with no opportunity other than to gain something new and starts from the beginning.
