We aim is to augment the dataset with country-level indicators from international organisations such as the World Bank, ILO and WHO that could include inequality, GDP, healthcare, etc. The key goal is the analysis the relationship between risk and other economic, social and health indicators, with focus on Asia. This project seeks to close the gap in the literature by an unprecedented investigation of risk perceptions across nearly 140 countries with these specific objectives:
1) Explore the cross-cultural perceptions of risk and safety.
