We should consider per capita income or consumption, preferably in kind, for example food calories, cloth, dwelling space per capita. I feel we are poor. Even if you use public utilities, the roads used by us are poor and narrow. As our population is excessive, we have less space and resources per capita.
Although I am not an expert on economic datas but this should help
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_distribution_of_wealth
The data has ignored the space per capita available. Land including natural resources is the main input for people to work and create wealth. Beyond a certain level, the increasing number go to reduce per capita income, wealth etc. In these circumstances, there is one remedy. People may acquire more skills and work in other countries. This has an effect of transferring excess population, may be temporarily, to other less populated regions. Inflow of money from foreign earnings has contributed to prosperity of regions like Punjab.
