Update Frequency: Annual

Footnotes: Refer to Singapore residents (citizens and permanent residents) from 1980. Prior to 1980, figures refer to total population. Data for the latest available year is preliminary. Life expectancies in 2020-2023 have been affected by higher mortality rates, particularly those observed in 2021 and 2022, arising from the COVID-19 pandemic. It may not accurately represent the number of years that individuals can expect to live if mortality rates return to pre-pandemic levels. For more information, please refer to the 'Complete Life Tables for Singapore Resident Population' publication (www.singstat.gov.sg/publications/population/complete-life-table) and Information Paper on 'Complete Life Tables 2003-2006 for Singapore Resident Population' (www.singstat.gov.sg/find-data/search-by-theme/population/death-and-life-expectancy/publications-and-methodology).
