Africa | Life expectancy at birth, total (years)

Life expectancy at birth indicates the number of years a newborn infant would live if prevailing patterns of mortality at the time of its birth were to stay the same throughout its life. Limitations and exceptions: Annual data series for males and females are interpolated from 5-year period data. Therefore they may not reflect real events as much as observed data.
