Monaco: Where living long and marrying less is the new trend - Monaco is once again leading the world in life expectancy, with Monegasques reaching an average of 87 years in 2024. The Principality continues to outshine the competition, with life expectancy at birth at 84 years for men and 90 years for women—nearly 6 years longer than the European Union average. Despite a slight rise in mortality (10 more deaths than last year), Monaco still fares better than most, with a mortality rate of just 8.2% in 2024. On the flip side, births are on the decline, with only 98 newborns registered last year—down from 104 in 2023. As for marriages? Well, they're at a historic low, with just 55 marriages celebrated in 2024, the fewest in 41 years. Looks like love in Monaco is taking a backseat to living well!
