Global life expectancy increased since 1990 and is expected to continue to increase over the coming decades. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a fall in the global life expectancy in 2020 and 2021, but it is predicted to continue to increase in the future. In 2023, Australia and New Zealand was the global region with the highest female life expectancy.
