The crude death rate is the number of deaths during a year per 1,000 people of the mid-year population. It depends heavily on age structure: it is higher in the aging countries of Europe than in African countries that have higher mortality at every age but a very young population. Life expectancy is the more correct measure for comparing population health.
Live births per 1,000 people of population per year.
Demography 1960–2024 Life expectancy at birthLife expectancy at birth — how many years a newborn will live on average.
