Are you sure about there being 800 mill bhookas? And don't the bhookas have some obligation to make their lives better by having smaller families?

You can't change a definition. You'll have to see if certain parameters fit. I'd be interested to know what you think makes a superpower.:)

Oh yes there are 800 mil bhookas and that is the every first criteria to get them out of poverty. By 2020 India will be almost 1.5B people… :bummer:

Answer is to create more rural jobs. Answer is to keep the economy booming and let the effects percolate from cities outward, creating satellite cities....and so on. India is being dragged down by these bhookas who can do nothing better than procreate.

Well you have 16 years to get rid of 800 mil bhookas you will meet the first condition. Don't forget the 400 mil you will add to the list.

Indians, Pakistanis lead UAE private sector jobs

DUBAI — Indian and Pakistani expatriates hold more than 70 per cent of private sector jobs in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), compared with just 10 per cent for Arabs, official figures showed yesterday.

“Asian nationals hold 87.1 per cent of jobs in the private sector, with Indians top of the list at 53.7 per cent followed by Pakistanis at 18 per cent,” the daily Al Ittihad said, citing Labour and Social Affairs Ministry figures.

This compared to 10.6 per cent of nationals from various Arab countries working in the private sector.

“The ministry is fully aware of the dominance of some nationalities in the private sector, and is trying to remedy this imbalance,” an unnamed official of the ministry told the paper.

The official said his ministry was hampered by the insistence of private firms on hiring Asians, particularly Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis, “on grounds that they are less costly to import, take lower wages and are more productive and obedient.”

However, “the ministry has managed to stem the flood of Asian workers,” the official said, adding that Asian expatriates would have taken up more than 90 per cent of private sector jobs if employers had their way.

The UAE’s population stood at 3.754 million by end-2002, according to official figures.
