Computation description: | A generation is defined as 25 years. Life expectancy for total population is calculated for a rolling 3-year period and reported annually. Life expectancy for Indigenous and non-Indigenous populations is calculated for a rolling 3-year period and reported every 5 years. Presented as number of years. |
---|---|
Computation: | Calculated by direct estimation of life expectancy at birth for all Australians, Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians using the average number of deaths in the 3-year period and the estimated resident population at a mid-point of that period. |
Numerator: | The gap estimate does not have a numerator or denominator. The average number of years a person could expect to live from the day they are born if they experienced mortality rates at each age that are currently experienced by the relevant population. |

Comments: | Most recent data available for 2013 CRC report: 2005–2007. NO NEW DATA FOR 2013 REPORTING Baseline: 2005–2007. Indigenous estimates of life expectancy are not produced for Victoria, South Australia, Tasmania or ACT due to the small number of Indigenous deaths reported in these jurisdictions. For further detailed analysis by Indigenous status see the National Indigenous Reform Agreement (NIRA) report. |
