Abstract
Over the past few decades, global life expectancy has steadily increased due to advancements in healthcare, nutrition, and living standards. Switzerland, with its exceptional healthcare system, environmental factors, and high standard of living, is projected to lead in 2050 with an average life expectancy at birth of 86.1 years for men. Historically, countries with strong healthcare infrastructure, low poverty rates, and healthy lifestyles, like Japan and Nordic nations, have consistently ranked high in life expectancy, reflecting broader trends in health and economic development.
