There is no need for evidence of a "sufficient safety net" to prove this is true. Here is an experiment you can use to test the theory:
1) Find a person who has no formal education and ask them if they have died in a gutter.
2) If they reply at all, then they have probably not died in a gutter.
This evidence will be sufficient to prove that the lack of a "sufficient safety net" is immaterial, and that a lack of an education will not mean you will die in a gutter.
Further, let's add some real data. Approximately 32 million adults in the United States are illiterate [1]. If your theory was correct, we should have a lot of clogged up gutters. And while lower literacy rates have significant consequences on things like job availability, they are in no way indicators that someone will die in a gutter.
