I wonder.
"First world" refers to America and her allies. It has nothing do to with population size.

We have a pretty small population in relation to our size... so no, not necessarily.

small population is a symptom of wealth, not a cause of it.

Papua New Guinea and Haiti have small populations, yet they're shitholes.

As a country becomes more advanced, the birthrates drop.

Due to the small nations and therefore limited space, Europe has had very "modern" approaches to population control and family planing since WW2.
Lastly, due to the small sizes of countries in Europe, infrastructure and education are easier to maintain and fund, therefore you end up with great countries that prosper and innovate.
The USA is probably the only country in the world that allows for both prosperity and huge population, due to recourses and size. That being said, the gulf between rich and poor in the US is increasing and education is shit.
>tl:dr yes, size of countries allows for better quality of life

Yes. Read "The European Miracle: Environments, Economies and Geopolitics in the History of Europe and Asia".
One of the factors is a low European birth rate and the use of technology to make up for a low population.
