Analysis# Chad Life Expectancy at Birth
Chad's life expectancy at birth reached 55.238 years in 2024, marking both the country's all-time peak and a remarkable 40.9% gain since 1960, when it stood at just 39.216 years. Over six decades, Chadians have gained nearly 16 years of life expectancy, reflecting sustained improvements in health infrastructure, disease control, and living standards despite persistent development challenges.
The acceleration in recent years deserves particular attention. Between 2015 and 2024, life expectancy climbed 3.92 years—a pace faster than the preceding 55-year average. The sharpest single-year jump occurred from 2021 to 2022, when the metric increased by 1.392 years, suggesting a recovery from pandemic-related disruptions. Continued upward momentum through 2024 indicates Chad's health systems remain on an improving trajectory.
