Back in 2019 GiveWell surveyed 2,000 people in Kenya and Ghana.
The results from this research are now available here. Among other findings, they suggest that survey respondents have higher values for saving lives (relative to reducing poverty) and higher values for averting deaths of children under 5 years old (relative to averting deaths of individuals over 5 years old) than we had previously been using in our decision-making.
Hmm, I can’t find the relevant question in the linked results PDF. I can only find comparisons within a country on what their tradeoff is between money for personal consumption and death (which is somewhat related but doesn’t really obviously interface with the point made in the OP)
