Life expectancy at birth is an estimate of
the expected number of years to be lived by a female or male newborn.
Life expectancy at age 60 is the additional number of years expected
to be lived by a woman or man who has survived to age 60. These
indicators are obtained from the estimates and projections prepared
every two years by the Population Division of the United Nations
Secretariat. For many developing countries that lack complete and
reliable statistics on births and deaths based on vital registration,
various estimation techniques are used to calculate life expectancy
using other sources of data, mainly population censuses and demographic
surveys. Life expectancy at birth by sex gives a statistical summary
of current differences in male and female mortality across all ages.
However, trends and differentials in infant and child mortality
rates are the predominant influence on trends and differentials
in life expectancy at birth in most developing countries.
