Iran has a very large middle class. So, an average Iranian belongs to the middle class. But I won't really say that the average Iranian from the middle class lives better than an average German in the middle class.I would not go so far as to say average Iranian but generally speaking, Iranian middle class in Iran does live better than German middle class in Germany. It is actually the same phenomenon in Pakistan.
Lower income class is better in Germany/Europe/US, if you are middle class it is better in Iran/Pakistan.
Middle class in Iran/Pakistan can basically afford mini palaces for the same price as a nasty apartment in Germany.
On the flip side, if you are low income/poor you will be treated like dirt in Iran/Pakistan whereas you will be treated better in Germany/US with access to same basic social services.
Ironically most people who are wealthy in Iran/Pakistan will initially become poorer when they immigrate to west while the low income people from Iran/Pakistan quickly find a job and become richer when they move to west.
Houses in Iran are bigger than houses in Germany. But is that the only thing that matters?
It depends on your job though. Some jobs are better paid in Iran, some jobs are better paid in Germany or Canada.
