Everyone may benefit from subsidising entry to risky occupations
Article Abstract:
The granting of either indirect or direct subsidy to people entering risky occupations proved to be beneficial even under a condition where private insurance exists. Granting of subsidy not only serves as a morale booster to people entering risky occupations, but also lowers expenditures associated with monitoring of private risk-sharing contracts. It also lessens the income variance of people engaged in risky business.
