What the data measures
Years a newborn would be expected to live if the age-specific mortality rates in the observation year continued throughout life.
WDI publishes period life expectancy from UN population data and national demographic sources, derived from life tables and age-specific mortality rates.
Coverage & limitations
217 registered national countries and reporting economies · 2000–2025 (available years vary by series)
- This summarizes mortality conditions in a year; it does not predict how long a particular baby will live.
- It is a period life-table measure, rather than a measure of a completed birth cohort.
- Some underlying demographic estimates are interpolated and may not capture each annual event precisely.
- Missing years remain missing; the site does not extrapolate future life expectancy.
