According to the World Health Organization, road crash fatalities in India account for approximately 11 percent of the estimated 1.35 million global toll each year. Vulnerable road users, primarily pedestrians, cyclists, and two-wheelers, account for almost 54 percent of all fatalities and serious injuries. The young, working-age population is predominantly aff ected. Road users between the ages of 18 and 45 comprise 69 percent of all fatalities. This disproportionate impact of road crash mortality and morbidity on this economically productive segment of the population has a negative impact on productivity and is likely to signifi cantly depress GDP growth rates. 2020-02-18T19:46:27Z 2020-02-18T19:46:27Z 2020-02-20 Report http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/827641581916488024/Delivering-Road-Safety-in-India-Leadership-Priorities-and-Initiatives-to-2030 http://hdl.handle.net/10986/33339 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo World Bank World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Working Paper Publications & Research South Asia India
