#LIFE EXPECTANCY IN US 2020 BY GENDER FREE#
In 2020, a man born in Finland, Denmark and Austria could expect to live between 72.8% - 73.7 % of their lives free from any activity limitation, whereas the share rose to as high as 90.4 % in Sweden and 90.9 % in Bulgaria.Įurostat calculates information relating to healthy life years for three ages: at birth, at age 50 and at age 65. In 2020, a woman born in Finland could expect to live 65.9 % of her life free from any limitation, a share that rose to 87.4 % in Bulgaria. The expected number of healthy life years at birth was higher for women than for men in 20 of the Member States, with the difference between the sexes generally relatively small, as there were only four Member States where the gap rose to more than 3.0 years in favour of women - Lithuania, Poland, Estonia, and Bulgaria (see the Table 1).Īs such, it is clear that there are considerably wider differences between EU Member States in terms of the quality of life (health wise) that their respective populations may expect to live, when compared with the overall differences in life expectancy.
