Bangladesh still has a larger labour force since its population was historically higher until quite recently (72 million vs 68 million). It hasnt surpassed by nominal GDP per capita yet although it probably will have 2020. Pakistan also has a much higher GDP (PPP) so in reality Bangladesh is still far from reaching Pakistan's level of wealth although it probably will surpass it and India per capita eventually due to its higher gdp growth to population growth.

That's based on current projections which do not take into account the massive transformation CPEC and other related programs will have on Pakistan's economy. Also, one thing everyone fails to mention is one of the by-products of CPEC, the fact that China is overtly and covertly transferring to Pakistan advanced sciences and technologies which will greatly boost our economy and living standards. This is not just limited to our defence industry. Already, Pakistan's infrastructure is improving.
