Notes: Education is classified according to the 2011 International Standard Classification of Education (ISCED-2011) into low (primary education and below, ISCED 0–2), medium (lower-secondary and upper-secondary, ISCED 3–4) and high education (higher than upper-secondary, ISCED 5–8). Deaths of despair: suicide (X60–X84, Y87.0), alcohol-related deaths (E24.4, F10, G31.2, G62.1, G72.1, I42.6, K29.2, K70, K85.2, K86.0, O35.4, P04.3, Q86.0, R78, X45, Y15) and drug-related deaths (F11–16, X40–44, Y10–14).
