Life Expectancy in China vs Marshall Islands (1950-2026)

Updated on by Georank team

The average life expectancy at birth is 79 years in China vs 67.3 in the Marshall Islands. China is ranked 52/197 by life expectancy, and the Marshall Islands is 159/197. In China, the life expectancy is 76.4 years for males and 81.8 years for females. In the Marshall Islands, it's 65.2 years for males and 69.8 years for females.

The drop in life expectancy in China in 1959–1961 was caused by mass starvation, disease, and social disruption resulting from the Great Leap Forward’s policy failures, poor agricultural management, and adverse weather, leading to 15–30 million excess deaths.

Life expectancy is the average age of death for a hypothetical cohort of newborns if they experienced the age-specific mortality rates of one particular year throughout their entire lives. It's a snapshot reflecting mortality rates in a given year that does not account for any future changes in those rates.

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 China can expect to live to 80.2 years compared to 71 in the Marshall Islands, rising to 83.3 and 78.2 at 65, and to 88.1 and 85.9 at 80 — higher than the 79 and 67.3 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in China and the Marshall Islands.

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 China, the most common age of death is 85, compared to 77 in the Marshall Islands. The median age of death is 82.3 in China and 72 in the Marshall Islands, 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 China and the Marshall Islands more than their death rates.
