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 South Africa can expect to live to 70.6 years compared to 84.2 in the United Arab Emirates, rising to 80.7 and 85.5 at 65, and to 88.8 and 88.5 at 80 — higher than the 66.7 and 83.4 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in South Africa and the United Arab Emirates.

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 South Africa, the most common age of death is 77, compared to 86 in the United Arab Emirates. The median age of death is 70.8 in South Africa and 85.6 in the United Arab Emirates, 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 South Africa and the United Arab Emirates more than their death rates.
