Determinants Of Longevity In Algeria: A Cross-country Comparative Analysis
Authors : Belaidi Mohamed Amine . Mimoune Narimene .
Abstract
This study analyzes the determinants of longevity in Algeria through an international comparison with Iran, Tunisia, Egypt, South Africa, and Nigeria over the period 2000–2024. The results highlight an effective conversion of resources into health gains, a remarkable increase in life expectancy (from 30 years in 1923 to 75 years in 2023), and one of the smallest gender gaps in longevity within the panel (2.2–3.2 years). The analysis also reveals a moderate rise in median age (projected at 29.5 years by 2030) and superior efficiency in healthcare resource allocation compared to countries with similar economic levels. However, challenges persist, including demographic aging, regional disparities, and the management of chronic diseases. This study underscores the importance of targeted public policies and strategic investments to consolidate health and demographic achievements.
