There is no reason to believe those views are universally correct or wise in other contexts.
Not only this, but there is also reason to believe people in lower income countries will be less willing to pay for safety because they have less money. Someone spending 100 $/d can afford 2 $/d to decrease their risk of death by e.g. 1 %. However, someone spending 2 $/d (close to the maximum income of people living in extreme poverty of 2.15 $/d) cannot afford 2 $/d because this would decrease their available spending to 0, which could lead to death from starvation without the support of others.
Thanks, Jason! I agree.
