7.3 From AG2018 to AG2020 To further clarify the differences between the old and the new projections tables, cohort life expectancy is used. Cohort life expectancy includes all future mortality developments. Below the step-by-step impact on cohort life expectancy for starting year 2021 of each added set of data points is shown. Cohort Life expectancy in 2021 AG2018 Model change Add EU2017 Add NL2018 Add EU2018 Add NL2019 AG2020 At birth Males 90.2 -0.8 -0.1 -0.1 0.0 0.1 89.3 Table 7.3 Cohort life expectancy in 2021 Table 7.4 lists the future cohort life expectancies for starting years 2021, 2046 and 2071. At birth Starting year 2021 2046 2071 At age 65 Males 89.3 91.6 93.3 Females Difference Males 91.7 93.8 95.3 2.4 2.2 2.0 20.0 22.7 24.9 Table 7.4 Future cohort life expectancy based on AG2020 These numbers demonstrate that according to the forecast life expectancies for men and women will continue to rise, slightly faster for men than for women, thus reducing the gap in life expectancies between the men and women. 7.4 Projections in perspective Graph 7.2 compares the developments in period life expectancy at birth for AG2018, AG2020 and CBS2019-2060. It is apparent that the AG2020 forecast is adjusted downwards. The trend in the AG2020 forecast for Dutch men converges to the trend for met in the forecast for the selected European countries. The trend in the AG2020 forecast for women diverges slightly from the trend for European countries, which widens the gap in period life expectancy through time.
