Life expectancy in Jamaica was 73 years in 2012.
The Human Rights Measurement Initiative[1] finds that Jamaica is fulfilling 91.1% of what it should be fulfilling for the right to health based on its level of income.[2] When looking at the right to health with respect to children, Jamaica achieves 97.7% of what is expected based on its current income.[3] In regards to the right to health amongst the adult population, the country achieves only 89.2% of what is expected based on the nation's level of income. [4] Jamaica falls into the "fair" category when evaluating the right to reproductive health because the nation is fulfilling 86.4% of what the nation is expected to achieve based on the resources (income) it has available.[5]
