Summary

The Life expectancy report presents the number of years, on average, males and females can expect to live, if they experienced the current age-specific mortality rates through their life time. 
  • A newborn male in Jersey can expect to live, on average, for 80.6 years. 
  • A 65 year old male can expect to live for an additional 19.2 years. 
  • A newborn female in Jersey can expect to live, on average, for 84.9 years. 
  • A 65 year old female can expect to live for an additional 22.0 years.
