New information from the Zimbabwe National Statistical Agency (ZIMSTAT) 2022 Population and Housing Census (PHC) Preliminary Report on Mortality and Orphanhood shows the country’s life expectancy has gone up.
The report said, “Life expectancy at birth was 64.7 years for both sexes combined.”
It went further to break it down that urbanites lived longer than rurals.
“Life expectancy at birth was higher in urban areas (65.5 years) than in rural areas (63.3 years),” it further said.
And in the Battle of the Sexes, women are wining and it is not even close.
“Females had a higher life expectancy (68.0 years) than males (61.2 years),” it added.
During the height of the HIV, and AIDS pandemic, Zimbabwe’s life expectancy fell to 44 years in 2002. It jumped to 60 in 2012 and then now stands at 64.7 in 2022.
