Life expectancy is often mistaken for the average lifespan of an adult. However, an adult has already survived the causes of early-age mortality and can expect to live longer than the figure calculated at birth.

A 30-year-old in Benin can expect to live to 70.5 years compared to 70.7 in the Congo, rising to 78.4 and 78.3 at 65, and to 85.8 and 85.9 at 80 — higher than the 61.3 and 66.4 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in Benin and the Congo.

This chart shows the odds of living to each age from birth. 66.4% of newborns in Benin and 73.1% in the Congo are expected to live past 60, 50.2% and 54.5% past 70, 24.8% and 26.4% past 80, and only 4.21% and 4.63% past 90.

This chart shows the number of deaths by age up to 100 for 3 cohorts of 100,000 newborns each — male, female, and both combined — illustrating how expected mortality is distributed throughout life.

In Benin, the most common age of death is 0, compared to 78 in the Congo. The median age of death is 70.1 in Benin and 71.8 in the Congo, meaning only half of each cohort is expected to live past that age.

Note that this chart does not show rates per 100,000 population, as those would be skewed by age structure differences and reflect the demographics of Benin and the Congo more than their death rates.
