No it means the lay have been found unwilling to live their Catholic faith heroically and generously, living family well, sacrificially, cheerfully, fruitfully.

Vocations generally come from very generously lived family life...no divorces, large families, a cheerful and sporting spirit of Christian poverty (a bit of - egads - austerity) in how money and time is spent. 

That's where vocations come from; these sorts of families are the Petrie dish of vocations. 

And so in those families that live that way....some children decide to become self-sacrificing priests...and they then live a life of generous gift to the Church...and so it goes.

Treating this as an "administrative" task is a dull approach.
