Analysis# Cabo Verde Life Expectancy at Birth
Cabo Verde's life expectancy reached 76.224 years in 2024, matching its all-time peak. This represents a dramatic 56.5% increase since 1960, when the nation recorded just 48.713 years—one of the lowest baselines in the dataset. The sustained upward trajectory over six decades reflects substantial improvements in public health, healthcare access, and living standards across the archipelago.
Recent years reveal a largely positive trend, though 2020 marked a notable dip to 73.818 years, likely driven by COVID-19 pandemic effects. Recovery began immediately in 2021, and gains have accelerated since, climbing from 75.449 in 2019 to 76.224 by 2024. The consistent year-over-year advances in the past three years suggest Cabo Verde continues strengthening its health infrastructure and demographic outcomes.
