Why it matters
Annual and multi-year figures move slowly. A step this size is compared with how far the same series usually moves from one period to the next, so an ordinary year does not read as news.
For life expectancy at birth, higher is better. This movement is therefore assessed as neither better nor worse.
Historical context
Compared with the previous round, 2012–16. Survey rounds are years apart, so this is a change between rounds, not a recent movement. The two periods overlap, so most of the underlying data is shared.
