So...did they not think of this before they started building the factories, or did they just think the employees with the required skills would magically appear?

If you subsidize it, they'll collect the subsidies.

Talking with people from different backgrounds I noticed that almost no one appreciates the scale of demographic shift the industrialized world (so that includes China and India) experienced over the past two decades.

Young people have become a scarce resource and it's painfully visible already.

Yep, it leads to there being even less young people that want to live in the sticks and small towns that need them. But meanwhile they continue to try and build large factories in said locations for tax savings.
