Life expectancy

Life expectancy at birth is a summary measure of the age-specific all cause mortality rates in an area in a given period. It is the average number of years a new-born baby would survive, were he or she to experience the particular area's age-specific mortality rates for that time period throughout his or her life. Life expectancy can be calculated starting at different ages. Here we have life expectancy at birth, life expectancy at age 60 and life expectancy at age 65. Data are provided by Eurostat.
