This is likely one of three options, the other two being entrepreneurialism and capitalism. An ideal solution mixes all three and provides diverse sources of income. With countries like Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines you need to be a little vigilant about the possibility of needing to walk away, especially when you don't have dual citizenship.
Between automation, outsourcing, and government behavior in general, there is no fool-proof solution unless you can buy your own country. You hedge your risks by understanding finance without working in the field, saving money, investing wisely, avoiding debt, and recognizing and taking advantage of opportunities when they arise.
If you aren't willing to do those things, find a business under 50 people that is well run and work for them.
(In IT, the key is actually being responsive (and good). I interviewed four consulting companies, and while they were happy to do an initial (and sometimes follow-up) meeting, all four of them failed to actually provide me with a proposal. #5 is next week... I am even willing to convert our servers to Windows to expand the talent pool; it seems hopeless to find anybody good with Linux in Los Angeles.)
