- Abstract
In this paper, we conducted a study on “daily life risk awareness test”, “exposure to stray animals test”, and “animal infectious disease knowledge test”, and discussed the potential risk of rabies based on the economic burden. The study concludes that, first, the continuous improvement of the social security system brought about by the high economic development will reduce the awareness of risk in daily life by easing the financial burden of the residents. Second, rising per capita disposable income, in turn, may increase the population’s propensity to come into contact with stray animals by lowering their financial burden and raising their demand for pet companionship. Third, regions with higher levels of economic development are more conducive to investing in high educational expenses due to the lower economic burden, which helps to spread the knowledge of animal infectious diseases.
