Yearly data from 1960 to 2024, from the World Bank.
Switzerland's survival to age 65, male (% of cohort) was 90.99% in 2024, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 1.46 percentage points from 89.54% in 2014.
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 90.99% | 2024 |
| Five years earlier | 90.81% | 2019 |
| Ten years earlier | 89.54% | 2014 |
| Highest | 91.02% | 2023 |
| Lowest | 69.76% | 1963 |
| Average since 2015 | 90.36% | 2015–2024 |
| First recorded | 70.31% | 1960 |
Over five years it is up 0.18 percentage points from 90.81% in 2019. Since 1960 it is up 20.68 percentage points from 70.31% in 1960.
In 2024, Switzerland's survival to age 65, male (% of cohort) fell 0.03 percentage points on 2023 (from 91.02% to 90.99%).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1994 to 2023), the average change was +0.32 percentage points and a typical year strayed about 0.4 percentage points from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.8 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 1.33 percentage points in 1996 and the biggest yearly fall was 0.43 percentage points in 2020. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2015 to 2024 the straight-line trend is upward, about 0.12 percentage points a year. A straight line explains 50% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2024, Switzerland had the 13th highest value of the 217 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.

Survival to age 65 refers to the percentage of a cohort of newborn infants that would survive to age 65, if subject to age specific mortality rates of the specified year.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a weighted average.
