Abstract / Description

This data and its corresponding visualizations illustrate the average age that a newborn would likely live to, if he/she were affected by the sex- and age-specific death rates linked to the time of his/her birth, for a specific year and country/territory/geographic area. This is an important measurement since life expectancy at birth points to a population's overall mortality level.
