Question

Which country imposed strict migration laws in 2018 that banned anyone under the age of 40 years from leaving the country, as an attempt to reduce the number of its people fleeing poverty

Answer 1

Turkmenistan.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Central Asian country of Turkmenistan had been rumored to impose a strict migration law that prevents or prohibits anyone below the age of 40 from leaving the country. This was done to ensure that the country is not deserted amidst the rise in prices and increased poverty.

The refusal to let Turkmen below the age of 40 from leaving the nation is a result of a huge increase in the number of people seeking residence in other nations. This left the country deserted and could even lead to the non-existence of anyone to farm and produce, even capable of crippling the economy. But even more so is the absence of any democratic government, with no free press with critic of the government ending in prisons.
