Median Age and Life Expectancy of the World #Infographic

Published by Web Desk Thursday, July 7, 2016

This infographic embodies the public data provided by the CIA World Factbook on median age, population, and life expectancy of 150 different countries as of 2015. To clarify, median age describes the age that splits a country's population into two equal groups; exactly half of the people are younger and half are older. Life expectancy is defined as the average number of years lived by a group of individuals born in the same year.

By examining these unique sets of statistics together in a data visualization, an eye-opening juxtaposition is created. It raises compelling questions about the affects of climate, history, government, lifestyle, diet, and public health. While many factors play vital roles in the livelihood of a nation, these baseline characteristics can help provide some insight into each country. Could the Mediterranean diet contribute to Monaco's top marks? Japan comes in second; their devotion to authentic food and exercise may be responsible.
