World Bank Group (2023)

Estimation of the World Bank Group for 2023.^[2]^[3]^[4] The data is filtered according to the list of countries in the Americas. The values in the World Bank Group tables are rounded. All calculations are based on raw data; so due to the nuances of rounding, in some places illusory inconsistencies of indicators arose, with a size of 0.01 year.

In 2014, some of the world's leading countries had a local peak in life expectancy, so this year is chosen for comparison with 2019 and 2023.
