It's year 2050.
India
India is the 3rd largest economy in the world only behind China and USA. But it is only getting started. There is ample growth opportunities and huge demand for goods and services. Even though India has a huge population to feed the labour force, it is plagued by a major health issue. Diabetes has become the no. 1 cause of concern as India was "crowned" as the diabetes capital of the world back in 2023. Fast forward to 2050 and the situation has become the worst with 1 in 3 men are plagued by this lifestyle disease. This takes away their physical ability to perform any work other than air-conditioned desk jobs.
Hence there is a huge need to feed the actual physical labour force of the country.
Middle East and North Africa
Middle East and Africa are still in a mess with constant conflicts and economic mismanagement. It started with deterioration of the economies of Pakistan, Lebanon and Turkey. Constant droughts due to climate change, conflicts, and overall poor living conditions make it a hellscape to survive here.
Men are trying to escape from these countries in droves. They used to take boats and smuggle themselves into Europe in 2020s. But since then Europe has massively strengthened it's borders and there is no way in. They stopped taking any refugees. The refugges now had to look EAST towards asia for better life opportunities. But China and Japan do not take any immigrants, since they are closed off asian countries. Also the culture and language is radically different.
