There's a growing recognition today of a social crisis in Korea where the working generation today is less willing to support the parents who sank every dollar into pushing their children into lucrative professional careers. It sounds terrible, but from the children's perspective, they experienced less choice about their future because they're just an investment vehicle for their parents. The exact compact you describe breeds generational resentment.

Perhaps a generation or 2 later it might since the N-2 today still has govt funded pensions and the N-1 generation again either has pensions or stocked up on wealth through the economic boom after the Indian economy opened up in the late 90's
