Regards 19/13 - Regards sur la mortalité

At the moment, the life expectancy at birth is 84.3 years for women and 79.5 years for men. Since the last five years, the augmentation is 1.9 years for men and 1.6 years for women. Luxembourg is in the leading European countries in terms of life expectancy. The increase in life expectancy at birth is not distributed uniformly among the different age groups. It is mainly due to the older age groups (60 and over). The table 2010/2012 shows, moreover, that the probability of death is higher during the first year of life than during the rest of childhood, where mortality is low. The probability of death increases significantly in early adolescence. From the twenties, it is less pronounced. From 40 years, mortality is steadily increasing.
