      Interesting. I think you are probably right @jolly but from my experience there, there are a lot of potential issues with India (rising salaries, corruption, potential instability, etc.). @xenon may have more insight.

      I think companies will look to move even more to many different countries and not again become too dependent on one country (like they did with China)

      I think long, long, long term (30-50 years), Africa will be the next Asia in terms of cheap labor, manufacturing, etc. If Africa can get one stable and vision leader there (out of the 50+ countries), that could be the start. But it is a BIG BIG assumption by me. LOL

        That's been said about Africa for over 100 years.

        Ain't happening...

          Maybe...but the fertility rate in Africa is substantially higher than any other continent. Lots of labor that need to work.

          For example, the country of Nigeria will be the world's 3rd most populous country in the next 30 years, only behind India (#1) and China (#2).

            All this slave labor. Some day reparations will be demanded.
