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 life. It is a snapshot reflecting mortality rates at a given year that does not account for any future changes in these rates.

In Niger, 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 52.8 years for men and 52.4 for women, with a combined average of 52.6 years. People who reach 60 can expect an additional 12.6 healthy years, 12.6 for males and 12.6 for females.

Niger life expectancy calculator

This life expectancy calculator assesses the odds of living to 100, 95, 90, and below based on the current age for both males and females in Niger, also providing mean and median age of death. The calculations are based on the 2025 life tables (actuarial tables) from the UN World Population Prospects.


Mean remaining life expectancy: 41.7 Years

Mean expected age of death: 71.7 Years

Remaining life expectancy by current age

Life expectancy is often mistaken for the average lifespan of an adult. An adult has already survived early-age mortality causes and is expected to have a longer lifespan than calculated from birth.

In Niger, total life expectancy is 78 years at age 65, 79.8 at 70, 82.1 at 75, and 85 years at 80 — significantly higher than the 61.7 years calculated at birth.

The chart and table below account for the remaining lifespan and display total life expectancy by age and gender in Niger.

Probability of survival to age graph

The chart below shows the odds of living to all ages starting from birth: 69.9% of the newborn cohort in Niger are expected to survive to at least 60 years old, 53.9% will live to 70 years or older, 25% to 80+ years, and 2.67% will live past 90 years old.

For longevity rates starting from an age other than 0, use the probability of survival to an age calculator provided above.

Death rate by age in Niger

The chart below shows the number of deaths in Niger by age and gender per a 100,000 cohort of newborns, illustrating the distribution of expected mortality throughout life.

In Niger, most deaths occur at age 0 for both sexes combined, at 0 for males, and 0 for females. The median age of death is indicated by vertical lines: 70.4 for men, 72.8 for women, and 71.6 combined — only half of the cohort is expected to live past that age.

Note that the graph above does not represent rates per 100,000 population, as this would be skewed by age distribution and reveal more about Niger's demographics than the death rate. It also does not represent rates per 100,000 people in an age group, as this would be just the probability of death.
