But are they aging healthily? I work in a healthcare setting and there are so many 70-somethings that are barely functioning. I’d rather have a 75 year expectancy but with a high level of health (which includes independence and function) than add 10 years of poor health and constant care just to die miserable.
This will drop off again with climate desasters and wars to come. The Boomers and Gen X will see most of the benefits of the technical advances, without seeing most of the consequences.
My grandma died at 89 last month.
If the idiot white-wingers didn’t smash the health budget she might still be with us. Maybe the nurses wouldn’t be so overwork they let her die of anemia.
I don’t understand the comma in the title of the article
Instead of the comma there should be a colon. It’s not the life expectancy of the European Union, but of it’s residents.
That photo has serious meme potential. Invest!

Great news! Let’s make it to 88!
Did you choose this number on purpose?
Where we are going, we don’t need roads.
It is the second highest life expectancy before Monaco’s 90.
Soon to be median age in EU. Plastic surgeons tightening those dry clams are making a fortune.
yeah who wouldn’t want to spend the last 20 endless years of your shitty life in a for-profit “retirement home”.
