News: Singapore ranks world No. 4 for life expectancy

" SINGAPORE has the fourth-best life expectancy rate in the world, latest World Health Organisation (WHO) figures reveal.

Average life expectancy at birth stood at 82 years in 2011, making it a joint fourth with Italy.

Women here can expect to live to 85 and men to the age of 80.

The top three countries were Japan - which has a female life expectancy of 86 and a male life expectancy of 82 - Switzerland and San Marino.  "

My main purpose of finding the Singaporean's life expectancy is to poke around CPF Life annuity payout calculations and to estimate their assumed returns, and also which CPF Life plan is more worthwhile: Standard Plan or Basic Plan, which I will reveal in future post.
