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.

Healthy life expectancy at birth, defined by the World Health Organization as the average number of years a person can expect to live in full health, is 55.4 years in Eritrea and 70 in the Netherlands. People who reach age 60 can expect an additional 11.2 healthy years in Eritrea and 17.8 in the Netherlands.

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 Eritrea can expect to live to 74 years compared to 83.1 in the Netherlands, rising to 79.9 and 85.5 at 65, and to 86.5 and 89.2 at 80 — higher than the 69.4 and 82.6 years calculated at birth.

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

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 Eritrea, the most common age of death is 81, compared to 88 in the Netherlands. The median age of death is 75.5 in Eritrea and 85.5 in the Netherlands, 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 Eritrea and the Netherlands more than their death rates.
