Children have the right to expect others to provide for them. There's other groups that have historically been provided for in nearly every culture such as the old.
Rights evolve as our needs evolve let's not forget that people went through all sorts of hell and sometimes died for things we consider rights today, without things like basic education I can only assume swathes of the world's population would be peasants dying to revolt or end up disposed of by some glorious revolution. Would you consider basic education a right?
Consider that common criminals and repeat offenders tend to be uneducated and difficult to employ and that ketsuko is the essence of my point. We cannot survive in a modern world without what's considered basic provisions and more importantly living naturally like our ancestors isn't possible for most of the world's population.
I feel I'm not explaining my point, anyways if you ended up stranded alone it's survival. That said if you caused an ecological disaster such as burning the forest down you will pay for it, hunt an endangered species? That's expensive dining. Access to basic things for survival whilst we live under governments is a right and the alternative is things like the French Revolution.
Bonafide survival isn't feasible for the majority of people given our population density around the world. Most aren't trained in peasantry or hunter-gathering either.

I would argue that the mindset you refer to had it's inception at the beginning of the runaway self-indulgence of the feminist movement. Specifically the "The fact that I want it means it's my birthright for it to come to me" mindset.

No.
It began when people started to navel gaze too much and compassion became pathological.
I accept what you say. Could attempt to put an approximate date on it?
