What countries have the highest and lowest life expectancy (LIFEX) in Africa? Could there any factors influencing life expectancy? Do Island Countries have a longer LIFEX? 

 

    • Of the three most populous countries in the continent (Nigeria, Ethiopia and Egypt), Nigeria is the only country with life expectancy below 50 and below the continent’s average.
    • Within North Africa, Sudan has the lowest life expectancy. However, North African countries have the highest life expectancy numbers in the continent.
    • Of the top ten African countries with the highest life expectancy, 5 are from North Africa. Additionally, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco (all Northern Africa) have the highest life expectancy in the continent. There is no Southern African country in the top 10.
    • Aside Comoros, the Island nations within Africa have a higher expectancy than the continent’s average.
    • Three of the Island nations (Mauritius, Seychelles and Cape Verde) feature in the top 10 countries with highest life expectancy in Africa.
    • While the continent’s average life expectancy is 63, Central Africa and West Africa have 50% and 44% of countries with life expectancy below 60 respectively.
