This paper empirically investigated the
drivers of life expectancy in North Africa
using secondary data from World
Development Indicators (WDI) for the
period between 1985 and 2018. The study
utilized a Panel Fixed Effect Least Square
Dummy Variable Regression model. The
result revealed that carbon (iv) oxide
emissions per capita, total fertility rate,
old-age dependency ratio, infant mortality
rate significantly affect life expectancy in
North Africa and real per capita gross
national income is insignificant. The study
recommended that the governments in this
sub-region should adequately formulate
and implement policy blueprints to improve
health outcomes (life expectancy, infant
and child mortality rates) and provide
adequate social protection measures for the
elderly so as to reduce the financial burden
on the working population.
