Analysis# Algeria Life Expectancy at Birth
Algeria's life expectancy reached 76.475 years in 2024, matching its all-time peak. This figure represents a dramatic 87.3% increase since 1960, when life expectancy stood at just 39.527 years. The six-decade improvement reflects substantial gains in healthcare, living standards, and public health infrastructure across the nation.
Recent years show steady progress with one notable disruption. Between 2015 and 2019, life expectancy climbed consistently from 75.159 to 75.682 years. The COVID-19 pandemic caused a sharp decline to 73.257 years in 2020, but Algeria recovered quickly, gaining back those losses and surpassing previous highs by 2022. The upward trajectory from 2021 onward—reaching 76.475 in 2024—suggests sustained momentum in health outcomes.
