 2 minor   Life expectancy at birth period tables, with UN medium projections Various sources UN WPP (2022); HMD (2023); Zijdeman et al. (2015); Riley (2005) The period life expectancy at birth, in a given year.   
[
    "Period life expectancy is a metric that summarizes death rates across all age groups in one particular year.",
    "For a given year, it represents the remaining average lifespan for a hypothetical group of people, if they experienced the same age-specific death rates throughout the rest of their lives as the age-specific death rates seen in that particular year.\n",
    "Prior to 1950, we use HMD (2023) data combined with Zijdeman (2015). From 1950 onwards, we use UN WPP (2022) data. For old regional data, we use Riley (2005) estimates.\n"
