Life expectancy in India has increased by more than 10 years in the past two decades, while globally children born in 2015 were expected on an average to live till 71.4 years, a new UN report revealed.
In 2015, life expectancy at birth was 68.3 years in India which breaks down to 66.9 years for men and 69.9 for women, the WHO’s World Statistics Report 2016 found. In 1990, Indians were expected to live on an average till 58 years. This rose to 66 years in 2013.
Globally, life expectancy increased by five years between 2000 and 2015, which is the fastest increase since the 1960s. This has reversed the declines of the 90s owing to the AIDS epidemic in Africa and other challenges after the fall of the Soviet Union in Eastern Europe
