Forecast period-life expectancy; gender and age, 2018-2060

This table contains forecasts of the period survival tables (per period of 1 year) by gender and age (as of 31 December) for the population of the Netherlands. The table shows how many boys or girls from a group of 100 thousand newborns will reach the age of 0, 1, 2 etc. by 31 December of the year of observation. It is also possible to read how old these children will become on average if the mortality rates of the prognosis year were to apply throughout their lives. This period-life expectancy can therefore best be interpreted as a summary measure of mortality rates in a calendar year. See section 4 for an explanation of the difference between the period survival table and a cohort survival table. The table can be broken down by mortality, the number of people living (table population), the number of deceased (table population) and the period-life expectancy by sex and age.
