Life Expectancy in Papua New Guinea vs South Africa (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 Papua New Guinea vs South Africa: 70.9 years vs 70.5 at 30, 77.9 vs 80.7 at 65, 85.7 vs 88.7 at 80 — significantly higher than the 66.4 vs 66.5 years calculated at birth.

The chart and table below account for the remaining lifespan and display total life expectancy by age and gender in Papua New Guinea and South Africa.

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 Papua New Guinea and South Africa 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.
