The terms scalar and vector are used for units of measure, not for arbitrary abstract concepts. Would you consider "life" a unit of measure?

Acknowledging that this is nonsense to begin with ... A vector is a force with direction. And since life is a force and moves only in one direction I'd say it is a Vector.
Distance is a scalar. But displacement is a vector.
Since you can represent that with a single number, it isn't a vector - just a scalar.

it is scalar

A scalar times a vector is a vector.
vector
current is vector or scalar
Scalar
When multiplying a vector by a scalar, each component of the vector is multiplied by the scalar. This operation changes the magnitude of the vector but not its direction. Similarly, dividing a vector by a scalar involves dividing each component of the vector by the scalar.
An earthquake is neither a scalar nor a vector. It is an event.
