What made you think so ? 11th out of 230-or-so countries is not bad at all. In fact, I was surprised that it was not more like 25th of something (at least regarding home space and comfort, and purchasing power), which is still good, but less good than many Western countries or even Singapore. Anyway, it is somewhere in the top 10% worldwide.
