Life expectancy at birth in Africa is forecast to exceed 77 years between 2056 and 2065. Estimates show that the average years of life on the continent would grow significantly in the coming years. For comparison, in the ten years from 1996 to 2005, life expectancy was below 60 years of age.
As of 2019, the population of North Africa lived longer than the other African regions. Indeed, Algeria, Libya, Morocco, and Tunisia were the African countries with the highest life expectancy. There, a newborn infant was expected to live between 76 and 78 years.
