Life Expectancy in Nigeria vs Zambia (1950-2025)

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.

The life expectancy from current ages in Nigeria vs Zambia: 67.1 years vs 71.9 at 30, 77.2 vs 77.9 at 65, 85.2 vs 85.3 at 80 — significantly higher than the 54.8 vs 66.7 years calculated at birth.

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

Odds of living to age in Nigeria vs Zambia

The chart below shows the odds of living to all ages starting from birth. Of the newborn cohort, 55.7% in Nigeria and 76.3% in Zambia are expected to survive till at least 60 years old, 39.3% and 58.7% will live to 70 years or older, 16.9% and 26% to 80+ years, and 2.22% and 3.62% 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.

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

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 Nigeria and Zambia 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.
