• Individuals are ready to assume voluntary risks than involuntary risks.
• The difficulty here is generally in assessing personal risks which are involuntary.
• The problem of quantification of risk raises innumerable problems.
• For example, how to assign a rupee value to one’s life. There is no over the counter trade in lives.
• Even for a sale, it has to be clear under what conditions the sale is to take place.
• If one buys a kg of rice it matters whether it is just one additional purchase one makes
Regularly or it is the first rice purchase after quite sometime.
• Even when compensations are made to people exposed to involuntary risk, the basis on which it is made or even the intensity of risk could be different for different people.
• As of now, the one suggestion could be to employ an open procedure, overseen b y trained arbiters, in each case, where risk to individuals is to be studied and remedied.
