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 76.5 in Venezuela, rising to 80.7 and 81.7 at 65, and to 88.8 and 87 at 80 — higher than the 66.7 and 73 years calculated at birth.

The chart above accounts for remaining lifespan and displays total life expectancy by age and gender in South Africa and Venezuela.

This chart shows the odds of living to each age from birth. 68.7% of newborns in South Africa and 82.4% in Venezuela are expected to live past 60, 51.6% and 69.4% past 70, 30.2% and 46.9% past 80, and only 11.3% and 11.5% past 90.

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 85 in Venezuela. The median age of death is 70.8 in South Africa and 79 in Venezuela, 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 Venezuela more than their death rates.
