Life expectancy at birth is the average number of years a newborn would live if age-specific mortality rates stayed the same as in the year of calculation. It is not a forecast for any individual but a summary measure of the current mortality regime: the indicator falls sharply in years of epidemics and wars and recovers just as fast.
Important: The indicator is highly sensitive to infant mortality: a decline there adds more years than an improvement in the health of the elderly.
