Life Expectancy at Birth in Algeria: 1800 to Today (and Tomorrow)

At MYRIAD, we examine the statistics of human lives to understand the raw duration of existence. For Algeria, life expectancy at birth measures how many years a newborn could expect to live, given the mortality of the time and place. This metric transforms historical conditions into a stark timeline. Every value is a statistical fact about the lives actually lived there, tracking the shifting boundaries of survival across three centuries.

The historical arc of this data reveals a slow beginning followed by profound change. In the 1800s estimate the figure stood at 30 years, climbing gradually through the 1810s estimate 30.2, the 1820s estimate 30.4, the 1830s estimate 30.6, the 1840s estimate 30.8, the 1850s estimate 31, the 1860s estimate 31.2, the 1870s estimate 31.4, the 1880s estimate 31.6, and the 1890s estimate 31.8. By 1900 it was 32 years, moving through the 1900s estimate 32, the 1910s estimate 34.2, the 1920s estimate 36.4, the 1930s estimate 38.6, the 1940s estimate 40.8, the 1950s 43, the 1960s 48.67, the 1970s 54.33, the 1980s 60, the 1990s 65, the 2000s 70, and the 2010s 72.

In the 2020s, life expectancy at birth in Algeria stands at 74 years — ranking #93 of 157 countries. Looking ahead, the trajectory continues upward through the 2030s projection 75.2, the 2040s projection 76.4, the 2050s projection 77.6, the 2060s projection 78.8, the 2070s projection 80, the 2080s projection 81.2, the 2090s projection 82.4, and the 2100s projection 83.6.
