The average number of years remaining for a living being of a given age to live is called life expectancy. Life expectancy is often referred to as average life span or mean life span. It is a frequently utilized and analyzed component of demographic data for countries of the world. Life Expectancy shows the overall health of a country. It has been often observed that women have higher life expectancies than men. Some experts say that Women are biologically superior to men. Life expectancy falls due to a number of problems such as famine, war, disease and poor health. Higher life expectancy indicates good development rates.
As can be seen in the map, the developed regions of the world have the highest life expectancies. North America, Australia and most of Europe fall into this category. Most of Africa has low life expectancy. In India, a developing country, the life expectancy is 55-64. Life expectancy changes with age. After a child is a year old, the chances of his living longer increase. Some countries with the lowest life expectancies are Swaziland, Botswana, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Mozambique, Malawi, South Africa, Central African Republic, Namibia and Guinea-Bissau. Andorra has a high life expectancy rate of 83.51 years. The Life Expectancy Map will give you a rough idea of the life expectancy rates in various regions of the world.
