Over the last century the Indigenous Australians faced a lot of issues like health, education, unemployment, poverty and crime. Initially these people faced identity problems and the children of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders were forcibly removed from their families by the federal and State government till 1970. Age standardisation was used when they compared Indigenous and non-Indigenous Austrians because the population of the Indigenous Austrians was much younger than the non-Indigenous population. The life expectancy of the Indigenous people was lesser than the non-Indigenous people because their deaths were not identified. Before the life expectancy gap was nearly 25 years but in the recent time it has reduced to around 10years.
