   Pakistan: men live shorter lives than 11 of 12 UN projections expected — by 3.1 years (median)

   The 1998 projection expected 70.8 years for 2020–2025, the 2019 one 66.8 years for 2020–2023; the UN now estimates 64.4 years. These years include the COVID-19 pandemic. Before 2020 the projections missed the same way, by 2.7 years (median).
