Goal 3. Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

DEFINITION OF THE INDICATOR AND METHODOLOGICAL EXPLANATIONS

Life expectancy is the average number of years that a person can expect to live at birth if the mortality by age during their lifetime remains the same as the values of the life tables for the observed year.

From 2007 on, a changed methodology has been used for calculating this indicator. We use the method of partial probabilities of dying that is based on the data from one calendar year only.
