This article looks at life expectancy rates over the centuries and the medical advances that afforded incredible leaps in how long populations survive. It also looks at the factors that can limit (and even take back) those gains, including pandemics like HIV and COVID-19.
On this page, you will find global data and research on life expectancy and related measures of longevity: the probability of death at a given age, the sex gap in life expectancy, lifespan inequality within countries, and more. In 2021, the global average life expectancy was just over 70 years.
Here we present the 2021 period life table for the Social Security area population, as used in the 2024 Trustees Report (TR). For this table, the period life expectancy at a given age is the average remaining number of years expected prior to death for a person at that exact age, born on January 1, using the mortality rates for 2021 over the ...
List of countries and dependencies in the world ranked by life expectancy at birth, both sexes, males and females. World Population Life Expectancy with historical chart.
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, global life expectancy has increased by more than 6 years between 2000 and 2019 – from 66.8 years in 2000 to 73.1 years in 2019. While healthy life expectancy (HALE) has also increased by 9% from 58.1 in 2000 to 63.5 in 2019, this was primarily due to declining mortality rather than reduced years lived with ...
Period life expectancy for individuals who have reached age 0. Estimates are expressed as the expected age at death, not as years left to live. UN, World Population Prospects (2024) – processed by Our World in Data.
This overview collects information from a large body of that work and links estimates for historical populations to those provided by the United Nations, the World Bank, and other sources for 1950–2001. The result shows regional and global life expectancy at birth for selected years from 1800 to 2001.
