Haiti Life Expectancy
Life expectancy at birth, total SP.DYN.LE00.IN
Haiti's life expectancy was 64.5 in 2025, ranked 192nd globally. This represents a 0.7% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Haiti's life expectancy stood at 64.5 in 2025, a decline of +0.5 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 64.5 by 2025. Haiti ranked 192nd globally.
Haiti’s life expectancy has risen steadily over the 65‑year series, climbing from 43.44 in 1960 to a peak of 64.94 in 2023 before slipping slightly to 64.48 in 2025, placing the nation 192nd in the global ranking. The all‑time trough of 42.72 in 1963 reflects the severe health shocks of the early post‑independence period, while the gradual upward trajectory since the 1970s mirrors modest improvements in primary health care, vaccination coverage and maternal‑child services. Compared with regional peers, Haiti’s 2025 figure is marginally lower than South Africa’s 65.14 and closely aligned with Mozambique’s 64.41, underscoring persistent gaps in health system capacity and socioeconomic conditions. The modest decline from the 2023 peak suggests vulnerability to shocks such as natural disasters and infectious disease outbreaks, which have historically truncated gains. Continued investment in health infrastructure, disease surveillance and climate‑resilient services will be essential to sustain and potentially extend the upward trend in life expectancy.
