World Bank Group (2023)

Estimation of the World Bank Group for 2023.[2][3][4] The data is filtered according to the list of countries in Oceania. The values in the World Bank Group tables are rounded. All calculations are based on raw data, so due to the nuances of rounding, in some places illusory inconsistencies of indicators arose, with a size of 0.01 year.

In 2014, some of the world's leading countries had a local peak in life expectancy, so this year is chosen for comparison with 2019 and 2023.
