Life expectancy in Haiti is 65.5 years, below the global average of roughly 73 years. This represents remarkable progress: a gain of 28 years since 1950. High infant mortality (43 per 1,000 births) is a key challenge. Women outlive men by 7 years, a larger gap than typical. By 2100, life expectancy is projected to reach 75.3 years.
