List of Chinese provincial-level divisions by life expectancy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
China at the 1st level of administrative division is divided to 22 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, 4 direct-administered municipalities, and 2 special administrative regions (plus 1 claimed province).
According to estimation of the United Nations, in 2023 life expectancy in China was 77.95 years (75.20 for male, 80.93 for female). This is 0.25 years less than it was in 2022.[1]
Estimation of the World Bank Group for 2023 is exactly the same: 77.95 years total (75.20 for male, 80.93 for female).[2]
According to estimation of the WHO for 2019, at that year life expectancy in China was 77.31 years (74.58 years for male and 80.36 years for female).
And healthy life expectancy was 68.45 years (66.99 years for male and 70.08 years for female).[3]
Life expectancy in China is several years lower than in neighboring South Korea, Japan and Singapore, but several years higher than in Vietnam, Kazakhstan, North Korea, Russia and India.[1][2]
