Life Expectancy in Australia vs China (1950-2026)

Updated on by Georank team

The average life expectancy at birth is 84.3 years in Australia vs 79 in China. Australia is ranked 7/197 by life expectancy, and China is 52/197. In Australia, the life expectancy is 82.6 years for males and 86.1 years for females. In China, it's 76.4 years for males and 81.8 years for females.

The drop in life expectancy in China in 1959–1961 was caused by mass starvation, disease, and social disruption resulting from the Great Leap Forward’s policy failures, poor agricultural management, and adverse weather, leading to 15–30 million excess deaths.

Life expectancy is the average age of death for a hypothetical cohort of newborns if they experienced the age-specific mortality rates of one particular year throughout their entire lives. It's a snapshot reflecting mortality rates in a given year that does not account for any future changes in those rates.

Healthy life expectancy at birth, defined by the World Health Organization as the average number of years a person can expect to live in full health, is 70.6 years in Australia and 68.6 in China. People who reach age 60 can expect an additional 19.1 healthy years in Australia and 16.2 in China.

Life expectancy is often mistaken for the average lifespan of an adult. However, an adult has already survived the causes of early-age mortality and can expect to live longer than the figure calculated at birth.

A 30-year-old in Australia can expect to live to 84.9 years compared to 80.2 in China, rising to 87.2 and 83.3 at 65, and to 90.3 and 88.1 at 80 — higher than the 84.3 and 79 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in Australia and China.

This chart shows the number of deaths by age up to 100 for 3 cohorts of 100,000 newborns each — male, female, and both combined — illustrating how expected mortality is distributed throughout life.

In Australia, the most common age of death is 91, compared to 85 in China. The median age of death is 87.5 in Australia and 82.3 in China, meaning only half of each cohort is expected to live past that age.

Note that this chart does not show rates per 100,000 population, as those would be skewed by age structure differences and reflect the demographics of Australia and China more than their death rates.
