It's not just safety and security that must be provided, but social inclusion as well - especially if what you care about is countering the negatives of the "attention market". Traditional societies are actually very good at this, thanks to their highly-refined social structures which mesh well with human social ("tribe") instincts. Modern-day societies that try to be "market-based" to a rather extreme extent are a lot more atomized. You can deal with that if you're lucky enough to have relatively-high income or wealth, but it's essentially a crappy, inefficient band-aid-- and the people in "relative poverty" are still SOL.
