This list of countries by life expectancy provides a comprehensive list of countries alongside their respective life expectancy figures. The data is differentiated by sex, presenting life expectancies for males, females, and a combined average.
As of 2024, Monaco has the highest life expectancy at 86.50 years, followed by San Marino (85.82 years). Next three positions are occupied by Asian nations/regions as Hong Kong, Japan and South Korea are at 3rd, 4th and 5th position, resp.
In the years 1960 to 2022, life expectancy has increased perceptibly worldwide. Starting at 50.7 years, it increased for men by 18.9 years to 69.6 years. For women, life expectancy increased by 19.9 years from 54.6 up to an average of 74.5 years since 1960.
Life expectancy at birth compares the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year, if mortality at each age remains constant in the future. Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages. 227 Results. Clear Filters.
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.
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 ...
Life expectancy, averaging a person's lifespan from birth to death, varies globally due to factors like genetics, lifestyle, and healthcare access. The global life expectancy in 2023 was 70.8 years for males and 76.0 for females, with significant regional variations, from 57.7 years in Western Africa to 82.7 years in Western Europe.
This dataset provides the period Life Expectancy at birth per country and year. The overall aim of the dataset is to cover the entire world from 1500-2000. This version (version 2) was built as part of the OECD "How was life" project.
Life Expectancy, age 0. 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.
Explore global and country-specific Healthy Life Expectancy (HALE) data from the World Health Organization. Understand why HALE is a vital indicator for measuring global health progress, integrating both life quality and longevity insights.
