ABS - Life Tables - Life Expectancy (GCCSA) 2010-2019

Brief description

This dataset presents life expectancy at birth estimates for males, females and persons. This dataset covers the reference period 2010-12 to 2017-19, and is based on Greater Capital City Statistical Areas (GCCSA), according to the 2016 edition of the Australian Statistical Geography Standard (ASGS).

Internationally, life tables are used to measure mortality. In its simplest form, a life table is generated from age-specific death rates and the resulting values are used to measure mortality, survivorship and life expectancy. The life table depicts the mortality experience of a hypothetical group of newborn babies throughout their entire lifetime. It is based on the assumption that this group is subject to the age-specific mortality rates of the reference period. Typically this hypothetical group is 100,000 persons in size.
