Analysis# Mozambique Life Expectancy at Birth
Mozambique's life expectancy reached 63.797 years in 2024, marking an all-time high for the nation. This represents a remarkable 54.9% improvement since 1960, when the baseline stood at 38.897 years. The country has climbed steadily from its lowest point of 38.897 years in 1984, recovering from decades of health challenges and conflict to establish new records in recent years.
The most dramatic gains emerged after 2015, when life expectancy stood at 58.711 years. A near-linear progression followed through 2020, adding approximately 2.7 years over five years. A notable dip occurred in 2021 (60.268 years), likely reflecting pandemic impacts, but robust recovery followed in 2022–2024. Continued upward momentum suggests Mozambique's health infrastructure and living conditions are strengthening, positioning the nation for sustained improvements in life expectancy.
