Average life expectancy (as pretty much any average) is a very misleading measurement, though, because it is highly skewed towards the low end due to extremely high infant mortality.
I guess it comes down to what you take it to mean. If I read a low average life expectancy, my default assumption is that many people die very young. And I even added the statistics about high infant mortality, so it should be pretty clear that that’s where it comes from?
