    Huh. That’s impressive, but I guess poor countries are also often unequal countries. Does that go for civil and mechanical engineers as well?

      No idea, that’s not my industry. There’s a reason Chinese people value education so much. It’s a key driver in upwards socioeconomic mobility.

        I’m going to guess land is cheaper in Indonesia too, but I’m not sure.

        Why is that? You’d expect that labour requirement would scale with track length just as land requirement does. Or do you just mean the engineers?
