Serbia’s life expectancy rose modestly from 70 years in 1990 to 76 years by 2019, reflecting improvements in healthcare access and post-conflict recovery. The stagnation during the 1990s and early 2000s corresponds to the regional instability and economic challenges following the breakup of Yugoslavia. Renewed healthcare reforms and stabilization in the 2000s led to gradual improvements. Although the decline to 73 years in 2021 reflects temporary pressures, the recovery to 75 years in 2022 indicates ongoing progress.
