The average life expectancy of most G7 countries decreased from 2019 to 2020. In the case of Canada, Germany and the United Kingdom, it remained the same. The sole exception is Japan — its life expectancy went from 84 to 85 years.
However, the average life expectancy in the U.S. went from 79 years in 2019 to 77 years in 2020. It means the U.S. was already lagging behind the other G7 countries even before the pandemic.
