This UNICEF report contains the "most comprehensive estimates so far of child injury deaths across the member countries of the OECD" (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development), the world's most industrialized countries. The Innocenti Report Card offers the first league table of child deaths by injury and concludes that injury has become the number-one killer of children ages one to fourteen in developed countries and accounts for almost 40 percent of deaths in that age group. The full text of the 30-page report is available for download in .pdf format from UNICEF.
