Despite considerable advances made in recent years, road related accidents remain the primary cause of deaths in children under the age of 15 years in many OECD countries. This book contains the latest statistics on children's injuries, fatalities and trends in transport, and outlines the progress that has been made in the last twenty years, as well as highlighting the need for further improvements. It examines the most effective current strategies and makes a series of policy-related recommendations for improving children's road safety.
