Life expectancy at birth, total SP.DYN.LE00.IN
Tunisia's life expectancy was 76.4 in 2025, ranked 90th globally. This represents a 0.2% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1960–2025.
Overview
Tunisia's life expectancy stood at 76.4 in 2025, a decline of +0.2 from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 76.4 by 2025. Tunisia ranked 90th globally.
Tunisia’s life expectancy has risen dramatically from 44.05 years in 1960 to 76.36 years in 2025, placing the country at rank 90 globally. The upward trajectory accelerated after the 1990s, reaching an all‑time peak of 76.51 years in 2023 before a slight dip the following year. This progress mirrors the gains observed in peer nations such as Argentina, whose 2025 figure stands at 76.38 years, and Hungary at 76.23 years, indicating that Tunisia is keeping pace with middle‑income economies that have benefited from expanded health services and declining infant mortality. The 65‑year coverage shows a sustained improvement in public health infrastructure, yet the modest decline from the 2023 peak suggests vulnerability to economic shocks or health crises. Continued investment in primary care, chronic disease management, and vaccination programs will be crucial to sustain the upward trend and potentially surpass the recent peak in the coming decade.
