Discuss how and why the compensating differential for the risk of death on the job can be used as the basis for an estimate of the value of human life? Does this seem like a reasonable basis upon which to make such a calculation?
THE COMPENSATING DIFFERENTIAL FOR THE RISK OF THE DEATH ON THE JOB IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE WAGES OFFERED TO WORKERS WHEN THEY ARE INVOLVED IN A RISKY JOB VS NON RISKY JOB IT IS THE BASICALLY THE VALUE OF STATISTICAL LIFE OF AN INDIVIDUAL OR THE MONEY HE WOULD WISH TO TO MAKE BY PUTTING HIS LIFE IN RISK
ALTHOUGH NO ONE CAN VALUE A LIFE AND IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO VALUE ANY PERSON LIFE IT IS STILL A CLOSE ESTIMATE TO MAKE SUCH A CALCULATION AS IT IS BASED ON WORKERS WILLINGNESS TO FORE GO THEIR LIFE IN EXCHANGE OF THAT PARTICULAR AMOUNT
