Social Evolution

This comment will get me hate mail.

Simple genetics, prior to WW2 if you were not able to fend for yourself you died. With the introduction of the welfare state those too dozy to live were fed and kept alive and, importantly, live to breed and pass on their genes. Those who were paying kept working and reduced their offspring. Those who were paid by the kid, those on the dole, kept on pumping the unwanted kids out, not bringing them up and collecting the cash. These feral youths started breeding too until, now a large proportion of the population is made up of people who can't fend for themselves.

Evolution in action.
