Mozambique faces significant mortality challenges, with life expectancy at just 64.1 years. This represents remarkable progress: a gain of 27 years since 1950. High infant mortality (47 per 1,000 births) is a key challenge. Women outlive men by 6 years, a larger gap than typical. By 2100, life expectancy is projected to reach 74.2 years.
