Fascinating Fact:

Life expectancy is the average number of years a person is expected to live, and it is usually higher in richer countries with good healthcare.

In KS3 Geography, pupils investigate how population data reveals patterns of health and development. Life expectancy helps them compare countries, spot inequalities and think about how healthcare and living conditions can improve people’s lives.

Key Terms

Life expectancy: The average number of years people in a place are expected to live based on current death rates.
Infant mortality: The number of babies who die before their first birthday per thousand live births.
Quality of life: A measure of how comfortable and healthy people’s lives are, including income, housing and access to services.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

How do geographers work out life expectancy?

Geographers use data on how old people are when they die and calculate an average age for the whole population. This gives a single figure called life expectancy.

Why is life expectancy usually higher in rich countries?

Life expectancy is usually higher in rich countries because people often have better healthcare, clean water, good sanitation, safer jobs and more secure housing and food supplies.

What factors can reduce life expectancy in a country?

Life expectancy can fall when a country faces war, widespread disease, poor healthcare, unsafe water, malnutrition or frequent natural disasters that damage homes and services.
