Latest source-dated evidence
These values are embedded in the page so readers and search engines can see the evidence without waiting for JavaScript. The live dashboard may retrieve a newer observation; the year beside each value remains authoritative.
What the available evidence suggests
The suicide rate is above the global 2021 estimate even though homicide is well below the global 2023 value. This contrast shows why “safety” and “wellbeing” should not be collapsed without inspecting components. Carbon per person is about three times the global figure.
The most important limitation
The profile does not capture state, territory or community differences and lacks a comparable child-labour observation.
Keep public health and violence distinct
Australia’s homicide observation is 0.85 per 100,000 for 2023, while its suicide observation is 13.08 for 2021. The difference in both reference year and definition makes adding them into a current mortality total inappropriate. The page is useful precisely when readers keep the two questions separate.
Its consumption footprint of 14.07 tonnes per person and Canada’s 13.23 both refer to 2023. The difference is 0.84 tonnes per person. This calculation does not identify a cause, nor does it measure a personal footprint. To investigate a trend, compare Australia with its own earlier observations using the same source definition before interpreting a change.
Interpretation added 13 September 2026 using the dated snapshot above and, where named, the linked country profiles. Calculations are illustrative comparisons of those published values; underlying observations have not been refreshed in this edit.
How to read this profile
- Compare values only when units and definitions match.
- Keep the observation year beside every claim.
- Treat expert-coded expression data differently from administrative death statistics.
- Read consumption-based carbon in its original physical unit, independently of the other indicators.
- Never convert missing data into zero.
Source map
| Signal | Source | Interpretation boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Suicide mortality | WHO via World Bank | Modelled population rate; reporting quality varies |
| Intentional homicide | UNODC via World Bank | Reported criminal homicide; coverage varies |
| Expression pressure | V-Dem via OWID | Expert-coded index transformed as (1 − value) × 100 |
| Child labour | ILO and UNICEF | Global and regional estimates cannot fill every country gap |
| Consumption CO₂ | Global Carbon Budget via OWID | Tonnes per person; interpreted separately |
