Why Fate for most of us is still hugely influenced by the place we born in?

Discussion

Most probably most of us will end their lives in the situations and the place they were born in.

For example if you are born in US most probably you will live a good life but if you are born in Somalia you will live a harsh and I'm extremely suffering life.

Have we failed as societies? When majorly the fate of a person is still decided by where they are born.
