It's a lazy non-think thing, common in countries where parents and kids think they are going to get by on luck.

'Luck' as in . . .

With luck, I will pass the upcoming math test.

With luck, I will marry a rich person and never have to use my brain again!

With luck, I will land a job on the basis of skills I didn't know I had.

With luck, I will do better than my parents - and without the effort they seem to need to put in.

With luck, some rich relative will die and leave me a lot of money!

There are lots of contributing factors to the problem.
But no solutions in sight.
