Singaporeans' life expectancy has risen for the second straight year. It rose by nearly 11 months over the last decade to 83.5 years. This is according to data compiled by the Department of Statistics. The increase follows a dip between 2020 and 2023, when mortality rates went up due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

More Singaporeans living past 85 as life expectancy hits decade high of 83.5 years
SINGAPORE, May 27 — Singapore residents are living longer, with life expectancy at birth climbing to 83.5 years in 2024, up from 83.2 years in 2023. The Department of Statistics (SingStat) said the new figure marks a 0.9-year increase over the last decade, compared to 82.6 years in 2014, Channel News Asia reported today. Last year's data was partly skewed by higher Covid-19 mortality rates, which SingStat said 'may not accurately represent the number of years individuals can expect to live, if mortality rates return to pre-pandemic levels.' Life expectancy at age 65 also improved, from 20.9 years in 2023 to 21.2 years this year. Male residents born in 2024 can expect to live 81.2 years, up from 81.0 in 2023, while females are expected to reach 85.6 years, up from 85.3 the year before. Over the past decade, life expectancy for males rose by 0.9 years, while females gained 0.8 years. At age 65, men are projected to live another 19.5 years, compared to 22.7 years for women. Survival rates are also improving – 89.8 per cent of newborn boys are expected to reach age 65, while 45.6 per cent may live to 85. Newborn girls fare even better, with 94.3 per cent expected to live to 65, and 62.9 per cent projected to reach 85. SingStat said that these projections are based on current mortality rates and do not reflect future medical or lifestyle changes.

Life expectancy of Singapore residents rises to 83.5 years in 2024
SINGAPORE: Singapore residents' life expectancy at birth rose to 83.5 years in 2024, an increase of 0.3 years from the previous year. The preliminary data released by the Department of Statistics (SingStat) on Tuesday (May 27) also showed life expectancy improved over the last decade, up from 82.6 years in 2014. Life expectancy in 2023 was affected by higher mortality rates due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "As these higher mortality rates are assumed to apply throughout a lifetime, life expectancy data for 2023 may not accurately represent the number of years individuals can expect to live, if mortality rates return to pre-pandemic levels," SingStat said. At age 65, life expectancy improved from 20.9 years in 2023 to 21.2 years in 2024. It increased by 0.6 years over the last 10 years, from 20.6 years in 2014. Data on life expectancy in SingStat's report shows the average number of additional years that people might expect to live if these mortality rates apply throughout their lives. It does not take into account future changes in mortality, said the department. MALE AND FEMALE LIFE EXPECTANCIES Resident male life expectancy at birth stood at 81.2 years last year, an improvement of 0.2 years from 2023. Over the last decade, resident male life expectancy improved by 0.9 years. The resident life expectancy for men at 65 also rose from 18.8 years in 2014 to 19.5 years in 2024. Female life expectancy at birth was 85.6 years in 2024, up 0.3 years from 2023. Over the last decade, it has increased by 0.8 years. The resident life expectancy for women at 65 rose from 22.1 years in 2014 to 22.7 years in 2024. The report also showed that the expected survival rates of Singapore resident newborns continued to improve in general between 2014 and 2024. For newborn boys, the proportion expected to be alive at 65 years old increased from 88.8 per cent to 89.8 per cent, while the proportion expected to live to 85 increased from 41.5 per cent to 45.6 per cent. Newborn girls showed better survival rates, with the proportion expected to be alive at 65 years old increasing from 93.5 per cent to 94.3 per cent. Females who are expected to live to 85 rose from 57.8 per cent to 62.9 per cent.
