Do you have a source for this?

It's not a matter of deserving. But from what I've read on the subject, these factors correlate strongly to social outcomes:
Marriage status of parents
Education of parents
Affluence of parents
Impulse control
Cultural valuation of education
IQ
Peer group
If you have the time, do give a listen to the CBC interview I linked to - it deals with some of this stuff.
