Life expectancy at birth, as defined by World Development Indicators, is the average number of years a newborn is expected to live if current mortality rates continue to apply.
Key Takeaways
Rwanda’s life expectancy at birth experienced dramatic fluctuations, plunging from 48 years in 1990 to 14 years in 1994 during the genocide, which caused widespread loss of life and collapse of public health systems. Recovery began in the late 1990s, with life expectancy rebounding to 47 years by 2000 and steadily climbing to 67 years by 2022. Key drivers of this recovery include investments in healthcare infrastructure, international aid, and nationwide efforts to combat diseases such as HIV/AIDS and malaria, significantly improving population health.
