Life Expectancy in the Countries

Life expectancy is a key index for evaluating any state, primarily because it is influenced by a vast array of factors. It is calculated annually based on statistical data collected by national institutes and international organizations. The UN Development Program uses a methodology that takes into account mortality data across different age groups to predict how many years on average a person born in a specific country will live.

Expected life expectancy is considered one of the key indicators of socio-demographic development. It reflects the effectiveness of medical care, living standards, hygiene standards, and the quality of a country's social policies. For example, high life expectancy rates are often associated with the development of medical technologies, accessibility of education, and a high level of social protection.
