It basically addresses what we see going on in developed countries especially, that most young people find it hard to get ahead(financially and occupationally) and that those who do often have the bank of mom and dad to thank. In other words, the western world has shifted from being a meritocracy to an inheritocracy whereby where you come from and who your parents are significantly influence where you'll end up.
