Life expectancy in Czechia still behind Western Europe

Life expectancy in the Czech Republic will not reach West European standards until 2030, according to a population projection and comparative study of European states.

Even though the life expectancy of Czechs has risen by almost 4 years since 2000, it is still several years shorter than in France, Spain, Italy and the Nordic countries. At present the life expectancy for Czech men is 76 years and 82 years for women.
