In the next graph, the development of period life expectancy at birth is provided for the period up to and including 2050. Up to and including 2015, the graph is based on observed mortality figures and for the period thereafter on the AG2016 projection. Period life expectancy at birth 90 85 80 Women Netherlands 75 European selection AG2016 AG2016 Europe Men 70 65 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 2030 2040 2050 Graph 3 Period life expectancy for the Netherlands and selected European countries The fact that the period life expectancy of women in the Netherlands is still below the life expectancy of women in selected European countries, as it was in the previous projection is visible in graph 3. The life expectancy of men in the Netherlands, however, as in the case of AG2014, is above the life expectancy of men in the selected European countries. 8.2 From AG2014 to AG2016 To provide more insight into the differences between the former and the new projection life table, cohort life expectancy is used. All future mortality developments are included in the cohort life expectancy. The impact on cohort life expectancy for the start year 2016 is shown below step-by-step in relation to: 1. AG2014; 2. the inclusion of the correlation between men and women; and 3. the new dataset. Step AG2014 Correlation included Update dataset AG2016 At birth Men 90.1 -0.5 +0.5 90.1 Women 92.5 +0.6 -0.1 93.0 Table 3 Cohort life expectancy in 2016 The inclusion of the correlation between men and women results in the case of men in a decrease in life expectancy and in the case of women in an increase. The update of the dataset results in an increase in life expectancy in the case of men and a slight decrease in the case of women. The table shows that the life expectancy of men does not change on Projection Table AG2016 Outcomes 20 At the age of 65 Men 20.0 -0.1 +0.1 20.0 Women 23.0 +0.3 -0.2 23.1
