Maldives releases decade-long Life Expectancy Series
TAGS

The Maldives Bureau of Statistics has released a significant new publication, Life Expectancy Series of Maldives 2010–2020, which provides an in-depth look at mortality trends and demographic changes over the last decade. This publication is a key step in the nation's commitment to using data to inform governance and public health strategies.

The Life Table created using observed age-specific mortality rates, mid-year population estimates, and standardized life table functions, allows researchers, policymakers, and development partners to analyze shifts in life expectancy and survival rates across all age groups.

This release is part of a broader initiative to strengthen the Maldives’ civil registration and vital statistics systems, aligning with global initiatives to improve demographic data for sustainable development.

The Life Table is available here. Please click here for the Methodology for Constructing the Life Table.

The Maldives Bureau of Statistics has recently begun the quarterly publication of vital statistics. The Quarter 1 edition of the Maldives Vital Statistics Quarterly Bulletin has been published here.
