In 2024, the world’s average life expectancy was found to be 73 years old. Though this may sound young to you, it was even lower in 2000, when the average global life expectancy was 66. Fortunately, life expectancy has been steadily increasing over time and some countries, in particular, boast significantly higher life expectancies than others.
Residents of Monaco have the highest life expectancy with the average male expected to live until 84.6 years old and the average female living until 88.6 years old. Averaged overall, people living in Monaco have a life expectancy of 86.5 years old.
Following behind Monaco is San Marino and Hong Kong with an average life expectancy of 85.8 years and 85.6 years. Unfortunately, the United States didn’t even make it into the top 25 countries for the highest life expectancies.
