72.7 years is the global life expectancy for people today.

78.8 years is the life expectancy in the US.
80.4 years is the life expectancy in Europe.
75.2 is the life expectancy of Latin America.
76 is the life expectancy in Asia.

But the life expectancy of Africa is only 63 years old currently, which is up from 2000, where it was 53.

Where this gets interesting.

1.4 billion is the population of Africa today.
2.5 billion is the estimated population by 2050.

By 2050, life expectancy is projected to be between 74 and 77 years old in Africa.

The global population, will be 9.7 billion people, where Africa will 25.8% of the population, versus the 17.5% of the global population it is now on 8 billion people.

The big factor to this is today, Africa is lowering the global life expectancy by a significant amount.

For the rest of the world, there’s also an expected increase, not including some potential scientific breakthrough.

The US is projected to be 81-83 years old.
Europe might hit 84 years old.
Latin America will be over 78.
Asia is a wild card, but some project it could surpass the US at 81, where numbers being to look more like Japan/Hong Kong, which average 84. Another big factor here is India, which is 69 currently, but should be closer to 75-77 by 2050.

This means there’s a really good chance by 2050, the global life expectancy with a population of nearly 10 billion people will be close to if not for the first time over 80 in history.

This also isn’t factoring in things such as AI, the chances of increased research into diseases, self driving cars and a variety of other things which could bump up numbers noticeably.

This is pretty exciting and shows how the next 30 years could give humans another decade of life with it.
