Life Expectancy

This page lists Life Expectancy for 18 countries in the CivlensAI dataset, with reference years 2022. The figures span from 67.7 years in India to 84.8 years in Japan — a difference of roughly 1.3× between the highest and lowest reported values. The median country in this dataset sits at 82.5 years, which is a more representative middle point than the average because a handful of extreme values do not pull it in either direction.

When reading this table, the spread matters as much as the ordering. Countries clustered near the median differ only marginally on health outcomes, while the gap between the top and bottom of the table describes the full range this indicator covers. A single number for a whole country is also a national average: it can conceal large differences between regions, age groups, or income levels within the same country, and it is reported in years.

These values are recorded as published by the data source shown above and are not adjusted by CivlensAI. Reference years differ across countries where a source has not published data for the same year, so comparisons should treat figures as the latest available rather than strictly simultaneous. For methodology details and known limitations, see the source page and the interpretation notes on this page.
