Retire Right: Countries Where Expats Live the Longest – And the Shortest

With the highest life expectancy in the world (85.63 years), followed by South Korea (84.43), Japan (84.85), and Hong Kong (85.63 years), retired expats looking for longevity should give Hong Kong some thought. These countries are perfect for retirees hoping to enjoy long post-retirement years because they provide first-rate healthcare, healthy lifestyles, and cutting-edge infrastructure. However, Chad (54.0 years) and Nigeria (55.0 years) have lower retiree life expectancies, and living conditions and healthcare access continue to be major issues in these nations. Knowing life expectancy trends can help retirees who are planning their future overseas make decisions about where to settle in order to have a longer, healthier retirement.
