Life Expectancy at Birth (years) for 217 countries, with the latest available year and the earliest year on record.

What this is. Number of years a newborn infant would live if prevailing patterns of mortality at the time of birth stayed the same throughout its life.

Ranking — latest available year

Countries are sorted by their most recent reported value. The first-year column shows the earliest year for which the World Bank publishes a figure for that country, which is not the same year for every country.
