No one wins from these situations beyond human traffickers and those who exploit misery. For b) we need to somehow empower Northern economies with as much telework as possible. You'll never get good jobs up there beyond resource extraction in our post-industrial society, so remote work is probably the only way to spread the wealth to these communities.
