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

Welcome to MYRIAD, where we examine the statistics of human lives. How many years a newborn could expect to live, given the mortality of the time and place, tells a profound story. For Paraguay, the story across three centuries is grounded in cold, empirical realities. Every value is a statistical fact about the lives actually lived there, tracing the quiet accumulation of time and breath against the backdrop of changing eras.

The historical arc is a steady, profound lengthening of days. In the 1800s estimate, life expectancy stood at 30 years, climbing by fractions of a year through the 1810s estimate, 1820s estimate, 1830s estimate, 1840s estimate, 1850s estimate, 1860s estimate, 1870s estimate, 1880s estimate, and 1890s estimate. By 1900 it was 32 years, before accelerating through the 1910s estimate, 1920s estimate, 1930s estimate, 1940s estimate, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, and 2010s. In the 2020s, life expectancy at birth in Paraguay stands at 75 years — ranking #88 of 157 countries.

Looking forward, the trajectory continues upward into the 2030s projection, 2040s projection, 2050s projection, 2060s projection, 2070s projection, 2080s projection, 2090s projection, and 2100s projection. For anyone navigating this timeline, these numbers dictate the horizon of human experience.
