This decide who get to be a civil servant not based on any property of the person themselves, but what their parents do when they were 14. It wasn’t even based on how wealthy or poor the family is, just their occupation.

I don’t think people like bricklayer earn much less than nurses or journalists nowadays. And doesn’t this indirectly punish journalists and nurses in the country by having higher bar for their kids if their kids want to join the government? Which mean family of journalists are barred from the government?
