Unfortunately, the lower classes had higher birth rates while the educated classes had low birth rates. After a time, the lower classes took most of the land by weight of population. The elite class got diluted and the country is now a third-world country. Is this story starting to sound familiar?
It's preferable to actually refer to history and draw conclusions from it rather than to look at the present and imagine a cause for it that happens to buttress a belief already taken for granted. Your's is one of those just-so stories like those used to explain why the bear has a short tail.
