How is life expectancy calculated? My average life expectancy has been around 56 years since I started playing. Is that a good number? How do I get it higher?
Thanks. |

Health Index is a factor. It takes a good Health Index over time to affect life expectancy.

It's fine for a newer country. In my established countries, I have around 65 years.

Build hospitals to improve your health index and it will improve with time. I wouldn't stress over it, since lower life expectancy doesn't have any negative effects on your country.

Whats a reasonable health index to shoot for? Mine is currently 125, and it seems like it would take a ton of hospitals to move it up much past 130. |

IMO, 125 is reasonable. You really only need it higher if you're planning on trying for Level 6. |

Health Index does improve the birth rate too. |

It takes a long time to raise HI and doesnt HI make higher pop sustainable? like 200 HI for 100M pop countries?
@ Paul
your HI has to be high and stable for a while or rising slowly for your life expectancy to raise |
