Giving statistics on deaths resulting from accidents, the report states that 81% of those who died in road accidents during the last year were Qatari nationals in the 15-24 age group.
That number "81%" seems so illogical, I would understand it if the article said that "81% of the deaths in the 15-24 age group are Qataris", it's a natural conclusion from them having cars, and non-Qataris in the same age group have less cars.
I would think that the deaths are distributed between 3 or 4 major causes (Teens speeding, Laborers in uncovered pickups, narcotics/drunk drivers ...).
In the QSA report, on page 118, "(V89) MOTOR-OR NONMOTOR-VEHICLE, ACCIDENT: TYPE OF VEHICLE UNSPECIFIED" the numbers are
Nationality
Total
Female
Male
Non-Qataris
141
9
132
Qataris
101
12
89
So the total % of Qataris who died in accidents is 41%, how could the "Qatari nationals in the 15-24 age group" be 81%?
within those 101 Qataris, 67 are between the ages of 10-29 (they would be around 27.6%).
If we count 101 Qataris from 250,000, that gives us 40 per 1,000. If we count 141 non-Qataris from 1,200,000 it gives 12 per 1000.
Qataris have more cars, and drive faster, and that's an issue.
Another valid statistic is that 91.3% of all those vehicular accident deaths are "MALES"
The Gulf-Times article is mostly inaccurate....
