Monaco had the highest life expectancy among both men and women worldwide as of 2024. That year, life expectancy for men and women was ** and ** years, respectively. The East Asian countries and regions, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, and Macao, followed. Many of the countries on the list are struggling with aging populations and a declining workforce as more people enter retirement age compared to people entering employment.

As of 2023, the countries with the highest life expectancy included Switzerland, Japan, and Spain. As of that time, a new-born child in Switzerland could expect to live an average of **** years. Around the world, females consistently have a higher average life expectancy than males, with females in Europe expected to live an average of *** years longer than males on this continent. Increases in life expectancy The overall average life expectancy in OECD countries increased by **** years from 1970 to 2019. The countries that saw the largest increases included Turkey, India, and South Korea. The life expectancy at birth in Turkey increased an astonishing 24.4 years over this period. The countries with the lowest life expectancy worldwide as of 2022 were Chad, Lesotho, and Nigeria, where a newborn could be expected to live an average of ** years. Life expectancy in the U.S. The life expectancy in the United States was ***** years as of 2023. Shockingly, the life expectancy in the United States has decreased in recent years, while it continues to increase in other similarly developed countries. The COVID-19 pandemic and increasing rates of suicide and drug overdose deaths from the opioid epidemic have been cited as reasons for this decrease.

As of 2023, the countries with the highest life expectancy included Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Japan. In Japan, a person could expect to live up to around ** years. In general, the life expectancy for females is higher than that of males, with lifestyle choices and genetics the two major determining factors of life expectancy. Life expectancy worldwide The overall life expectancy worldwide has increased since the development of modern medicine and technology. In 2011, the global life expectancy was **** years. By 2023, it had increased to **** years. However, the years 2020 and 2021 saw a decline in global life expectancy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, not every country has seen a substantial increase in life expectancy. In Nigeria, for example, the life expectancy is only ** years, almost ***years shorter than the global average. In addition to Nigeria, the countries with the shortest life expectancy include Chad, Lesotho, and the Central African Republic. Life expectancy in the U.S. In the United States, life expectancy at birth is currently ***** years. Life expectancy in the U.S. generally increases every year, however, over the past decade, life expectancy has seen some surprising decreases. The major contributing factors to this drop have been the ongoing opioid epidemic, which claimed around ****** lives in 2022 alone, and the COVID-19 pandemic.

The average for 2023 based on 47 countries was 75.46 years. The highest value was in Hong Kong: 85.25 years and the lowest value was in Palestine: 65.17 years. The indicator is available from 1960 to 2023. Below is a chart for all countries where data are available.

Men born in Chad have the lowest life expectancy in the world as of 2024, reaching only ** years. The lowest life expectancy for women in the world in 2024 was for girls born in Nigeria, with only ** years. Except for Afghanistan, all the countries with the lowest life expectancy in the world are in Africa.

Tunisia had the highest projected life expectancy at birth in Africa as of 2025. A newborn infant was expected to live about 77 years in the country. Algeria, Cabo Verde, Morocco, and Mauritius followed, with a life expectancy between 77 and 75 years. On the other hand, Nigeria registered the lowest average, at 54.8 years. Overall, the life expectancy in Africa was just over 64 years in the same year.

The countries with the lowest life expectancy worldwide include the Nigeria, Chad, and Lesotho. As of 2023, people born in Nigeria could be expected to live only up to ** years. This is almost ** years shorter than the global life expectancy. Life expectancy The global life expectancy has gradually increased over the past couple decades, rising from **** years in 2011 to **** years in 2023. However, the years 2020 and 2021 saw a decrease in global life expectancy due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Furthermore, life expectancy can vary greatly depending on the country and region. For example, all the top 20 countries with the lowest life expectancy worldwide are in Africa. The countries with the highest life expectancy include Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Japan. Causes of death The countries with the lowest life expectancy worldwide are all low-income or developing countries that lack health care access and treatment that more developed countries can provide. The leading causes of death in these countries therefore differ from those of middle-income and upper-income countries. The leading causes of death in low-income countries include diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria, as well as preterm birth complications, which do not cause substantial death in higher income countries.

The objective behind attempting this dataset was to understand the predictors that contribute to the life expectancy around the world. I have used Linear Regression, Decision Tree and Random Forest for this purpose. Steps Involved: - Read the csv file - Data Cleaning: - Variables Country and Status were showing as having character data types. These had to be converted to factor - 2563 missing values were encountered with Population variable having the most of the missing values i.e 652 - Missing rows were dropped before we could run the analysis. 3) Run Linear Regression - Before running linear regression, 3 variables were dropped as they were not found to be having that much of an effect on the dependent variable i.e Life Expectancy. These 3 variables were Country, Year & Status. This meant we are now working with 19 variables (1 dependent and 18 independent variables) - We run the linear regression. Multiple R squared is 83% which means that independent variables can explain 83% change or variance in the dependent variable. - OULTLIER DETECTION. We check for outliers using IQR and find 54 outliers. These outliers are then removed before we run the regression analysis once again. Multiple R squared increased from 83% to 86%. - MULTICOLLINEARITY. We check for multicollinearity using the VIF model(Variance Inflation Factor). This is being done in case when two or more independent variables showing high correlation. The thumb rule is that absolute VIF values above 5 should be removed. We find 6 variables that have a VIF value higher than 5 namely Infant.deaths, percentage.expenditure,Under.five.deaths,GDP,thinness1.19,thinness5.9. Infant deaths and Under Five deaths have strong collinearity so we drop infant deaths(which has the higher VIF value). - When we run the linear regression model again, VIF value of Under.Five.Deaths goes down from 211.46 to 2.74 while the other variable's VIF values reduce very less. Variable thinness1.19 is now dropped and we run the regression once more. - Variable thinness5.9 whose absolute VIF value was 7.61 has now dropped to 1.95. GDP and Population are still having VIF value more than 5 but I decided against dropping these as I consider them to be important independent variables. - SET THE SEED AND SPLIT THE DATA INTO TRAIN AND TEST DATA. We run the train data and get multiple R squared of 86% and p value less than that of alpha which states that it is statistically significant. We use the train data to predict the test data to find out the RMSE and MAPE. We run the library(Metrics) for this purpose. - In Linear Regression, RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) is 3.2. This indicates that on an average, the predicted values have an error of 3.2 years as compared to the actual life expectancy values. - MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) is 0.037. This indicates an accuracy prediction of 96.20% (1-0.037). - MAE (Mean Absolute Error) is 2.55. This indicates that on an average, the predicted values deviate by approximately 2.83 years from the actual values.

We use DECISION TREE MODEL for the analysis.

• Run the required libraries (rpart, rpart.plot, RColorBrewer, rattle).
• We run the decision tree analysis using rpart and plot the tree. We use fancyRpartPlot.
• We use 5 fold cross validation method with CP (complexity parameter) being 0.01.
• In Decision Tree , RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) is 3.06. This indicates that on an average, the predicted values have an error of 3.06 years as compared to the actual life expectancy values.
• MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) is 0.035. This indicates an accuracy prediction of 96.45% (1-0.035).
• MAE (Mean Absolute Error) is 2.35. This indicates that on an average, the predicted values deviate by approximately 2.35 years from the actual values.

We use RANDOM FOREST for the analysis.

• Run library(randomForest)
• We use varImpPlot to find out which variables are most significant and least significant. Income composition is the most important followed by adult mortality and the least relevant independent variable is Population.
• Predict Life expectancy through random forest model.
• In Random Forest , RMSE (Root Mean Squared Error) is 1.73. This indicates that on an average, the predicted values have an error of 1.73 years as compared to the actual life expectancy values.
• MAPE (Mean Absolute Percentage Error) is 0.01. This indicates an accuracy prediction of 98.27% (1-0.01).
• MAE (Mean Absolute Error) is 1.14. This indicates that on an average, the predicted values deviate by approximately 1.14 years from the actual values.

Conclusion: Random Forest is the best model for predicting the life expectancy values as it has the lowest RMSE, MAPE and MAE.

In 2024, the average life expectancy in the world was 71 years for men and 76 years for women. The lowest life expectancies were found in Africa, while Oceania and Europe had the highest. What is life expectancy?Life expectancy is defined as a statistical measure of how long a person may live, based on demographic factors such as gender, current age, and most importantly the year of their birth. The most commonly used measure of life expectancy is life expectancy at birth or at age zero. The calculation is based on the assumption that mortality rates at each age were to remain constant in the future. Life expectancy has changed drastically over time, especially during the past 200 years. In the early 20th century, the average life expectancy at birth in the developed world stood at 31 years. It has grown to an average of 70 and 75 years for males and females respectively, and is expected to keep on growing with advances in medical treatment and living standards continuing. Highest and lowest life expectancy worldwide Life expectancy still varies greatly between different regions and countries of the world. The biggest impact on life expectancy is the quality of public health, medical care, and diet. As of 2022, the countries with the highest life expectancy were Japan, Liechtenstein, Switzerland, and Australia, all at 84–83 years. Most of the countries with the lowest life expectancy are mostly African countries. The ranking was led by the Chad, Nigeria, and Lesotho with 53–54 years.

In 2024, the average life expectancy for those born in more developed countries was 76 years for men and 82 years for women. On the other hand, the respective numbers for men and women born in the least developed countries were 64 and 69 years. Improved health care has lead to higher life expectancy Life expectancy is the measure of how long a person is expected to live. Life expectancy varies worldwide and involves many factors such as diet, gender, and environment. As medical care has improved over the years, life expectancy has increased worldwide. Introduction to health care such as vaccines has significantly improved the lives of millions of people worldwide. The average worldwide life expectancy at birth has steadily increased since 2007, but dropped during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021. Life expectancy worldwide More developed countries tend to have higher life expectancies, for a multitude of reasons. Health care infrastructure and quality of life tend to be higher in more developed countries, as is access to clean water and food. Africa was the continent that had the lowest life expectancy for both men and women in 2023, while Oceania had the highest for men and Europe and Oceania had the highest for women.

Do women live longer than men? How long? Does it happen everywhere? Is life expectancy increasing? Everywhere? Which is the country with the lowest life expectancy? Which is the one with the highest? In this project, we will answer all these questions by manipulating and visualizing United Nations life expectancy data using ggplot2.

The dataset can be found here and contains the average life expectancies of men andwomen by country (in years). It covers four periods: 1985-1990, 1990-1995, 1995-2000, and 2000-2005.

Progress in health outcomes across Africa has been uneven, marked by significant disparities among countries, which not only challenges the global health security but impede progress towards achieving the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals 3 and 10 (SDG 3 and SDG 10) and Universal Health Coverage (UHC). This paper examines the progress of African countries in reducing intra-country health outcome disparities between 2000 and 2019. In other words, the paper investigates the convergence hypothesis in health outcome using a panel data from 40 African countries. Data were sourced from the World Development Indicators, the World Governance Indicators, and the World Health Organization database. Employing a non-linear dynamic factor model, the study focused on three health outcomes: infant mortality rate, under-5 mortality rate, and life expectancy at birth. The findings indicate that while the hypothesis of convergence is not supported for the selected countries, evidence of convergence clubs is observed for the three health outcome variables. The paper further examine the factors contributing to club formation by using the marginal effects of the ordered logit regression model. The findings indicate that the overall impact of the control variables aligns with existing research. Moreover, governance quality and domestic government health expenditure emerge as significant determinants influencing the probability of membership in specific clubs for the child mortality rate models. In the life expectancy model, governance quality significantly drives club formation. The results suggest that there is a need for common health policies for the different convergence clubs, while country-specific policies should be implemented for the divergent countries. For instance, policies and strategies promoting health prioritization in national budget allocation and reallocation should be encouraged within each final club. Efforts to promote good governance policies by emphasizing anti-corruption measures and government effectiveness should also be encouraged. Moreover, there is a need to implement regional monitoring mechanisms to ensure progress in meeting health commitments, while prioritizing urbanization plans in countries with poorer health outcomes to enhance sanitation access.

Singapore had the highest life expectancy at birth of all the Southeast Asian countries in 2023, with its citizens expected to live to an average of **** years. Falling behind by almost 20 years was Myanmar, with a life expectancy of **** years old at birth as of 2023. Interestingly, Singapore made the top ten of countries with the highest average life expectancy worldwide. Increasing life expectancyLife expectancy throughout the Southeast Asian region has been rising throughout recent years, likely due to improved healthcare systems. Improvements brought about by increasing healthcare expenditures. The East Asian region also joined Southeast Asia in displaying higher life expectancies at birth, with Hong Kong and Macao all exhibiting life expectancies at birth of over 85 years old. Improved healthcare Thailand, the Philippines and Singapore are just some of the Southeast Asian governments which have released successful universal healthcare plans. As the region faces an aging population, there has been more demand for effective healthcare. Healthcare has been improving not just in the Southeast Asian region but throughout the whole Asia Pacific region, with many countries exhibiting near perfect child immunization rates, offering its citizens better healthcare from birth. With these improvements made, it does not seem surprising that life expectancy at birth has increased.

Context The World Happiness Report is a landmark survey of the state of global happiness. The first report was published in 2012, the second in 2013, the third in 2015, and the fourth in the 2016 Update. The World Happiness 2017, which ranks 155 countries by their happiness levels, was released at the United Nations at an event celebrating International Day of Happiness on March 20th. The report continues to gain global recognition as governments, organizations and civil society increasingly use happiness indicators to inform their policy-making decisions. Leading experts across fields – economics, psychology, survey analysis, national statistics, health, public policy and more – describe how measurements of well-being can be used effectively to assess the progress of nations. The reports review the state of happiness in the world today and show how the new science of happiness explains personal and national variations in happiness.

Content The happiness scores and rankings use data from the Gallup World Poll. The scores are based on answers to the main life evaluation question asked in the poll. This question, known as the Cantril ladder, asks respondents to think of a ladder with the best possible life for them being a 10 and the worst possible life being a 0 and to rate their own current lives on that scale. The scores are from nationally representative samples for the years 2013-2016 and use the Gallup weights to make the estimates representative. The columns following the happiness score estimate the extent to which each of six factors – economic production, social support, life expectancy, freedom, absence of corruption, and generosity – contribute to making life evaluations higher in each country than they are in Dystopia, a hypothetical country that has values equal to the world’s lowest national averages for each of the six factors. They have no impact on the total score reported for each country, but they do explain why some countries rank higher than others.

Indicators/Factors Explain: 1. Rank, is the country ranking 2. Score, is the happiness score of the country 3. GDP, is the gross domestic product of the country 4. Family, is the indicator that shows family support to each citizen in the country 5. Life Expectancy, shows the healthiness level of the country 6. Freedom, is an indicator that shows the citizen freedom to choose their life path, job or etc 7.

BackgroundWest African countries experienced the highest under-5 mortality rate (U5MR), the lowest life expectancy, and the poorest economic development. This study aimed to explore the spatiotemporal trend of U5MR and spatial spillover effects of health resources and services to provide a basis for establishing health policies and international cooperative mechanisms in West Africa.MethodsWe retrieved data from the World Health Organization’s Global Health Observatory, the United Nations Human Development Report, and the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019. Joinpoint regression analysis and Moran’s I method were used to examine the temporal trend and spatial dependence of U5MR, respectively. Spatial regression analysis was used to examine the spatial spillover effects.ResultsThe long-term downward trends in U5MR were divided into multiple segments by two or three change points in 2013, 2014, or 2015, and the annual percentage change after 2015 was higher than before 2015. Global Moran’s I was positive, significantly indicating positive spatial autocorrelation, which increased from 0.2850 (p = 0.0210) to 0.3597 (p = 0.0080). Based on spatial regression analysis, human development index (HDI), physicians density, nurses and midwives density, health center density, percentage of infants lacking immunization for diphtheria and measles, and coverage rate of at least one antenatal visit had negative spatial spillover effects on U5MR. HDI had the strongest negative correlation (β = −0.0187 to −0.1054, p 

Quality of Life Index (higher is better) is an estimation of overall quality of life by using an empirical formula which takes into account purchasing power index (higher is better), pollution index (lower is better), house price to income ratio (lower is better), cost of living index (lower is better), safety index (higher is better), health care index (higher is better), traffic commute time index (lower is better) and climate index (higher is better).

Current formula (written in Java programming language):

index.main = Math.max(0, 100 + purchasingPowerInclRentIndex / 2.5 - (housePriceToIncomeRatio * 1.0) - costOfLivingIndex / 10 + safetyIndex / 2.0 + healthIndex / 2.5 - trafficTimeIndex / 2.0 - pollutionIndex * 2.0 / 3.0 + climateIndex / 3.0);

For details how purchasing power (including rent) index, pollution index, property price to income ratios, cost of living index, safety index, climate index, health index and traffic index are calculated please look up their respective pages.
