Forecast period-life expectancy; gender and age, 2020-2070

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. Data available: 2020-2070 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are forecast figures calculated. Changes as of 16 December 2020: None, this is a new table in which the previous forecast has been adjusted based on the observations now available. The forecast period now runs from 2020 to 2070. When are new figures coming? The frequency of appearance of this table is one-off. A new table showing the forecast of the period-life expectancy will be published in December 2021.
