Migrant workers make up 94% of the Qatari workforce. Many, like 27-year-old taxi driver and trader Niyas Maniyoth, come from South Asian countries to make their fortunes here in Qatar.
Niyas came from Kerala in India in 2004, and he has worked his way up from the hardest, lowest rung on the employment ladder.
Working 18 hours a day in a restaurant and then driving taxis, he gradually earned enough to start his own cab company.
