UAE Life Expectancy at 83
Hessa bint Essa Buhumaid, Director General of Dubai’s Community Development Authority, said that life expectancy at birth in the UAE had reached 83 years. She stressed the need to develop social services for older people and strengthen their independence and participation. She noted that by 2030, one in six people worldwide will be aged 60 or older, with their number expected to reach 2.1 billion by 2050. The Authority identified three priorities for improving services: designing them with older people’s input, strengthening coordination among government entities, and measuring their success by their impact on older people’s quality of life—not by the number of initiatives.
