Period life expectancy computed by Odainn from official Eurostat death and population statistics (2023) — it reproduces France's official life table within half a year (methodology). It assumes today's death rates continue; with medical progress, real lifespans of younger people will likely be longer. Other countries: Austria, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Cyprus, Czechia, all.
