Notes:
1) From 2016, traffic accidents involving non-motorised vehicles, transport accidents  not specified as related to traffic or not and traffic accidents where the victims  where going in or out of the vehicle at the moment of the accident were added to the 090 group. That incorporates all traffic accidents in this group,  therefore, the title changes to 'Traffic accidents'

 The standardised rates allow comparisons between different levels of education, as well as  temporary and sex level comparisons, by using an age structure common within the standard European population as of 2011.

 Category 'Upper Secondary education' includes the Higher Level Training Cycles and equivalent.

 Symbol '..' must be interpreted as data not given, since it is not a frequent cause in that age group.
