Life expectancy (the average age for a man to die) is a statistical measure of the average time an organism is expected to live, based on the year of its birth, its current age, and other demographic factors including biological sex.
A look at the development of average life expectancy in different countries is an interesting probe into their history and it is very often an indicator of happy and unhappy periods in these countries. The life expectancy in the UK was 81.24 years in 2023 (for comparison: 71.13 years in 1960). The average life expectancy in the world was 73.33 years in 2023 (52.58 years in 1960).
