In 1960 : North Korea : 55.2 Years

South Korea : 54.2 Years

In 1980 : North Korea : 67.7 Years

South Korea : 65.3 Years

In 2000 : North Korea : 70.2 Years

South Korea : 72.1 Years

2009 : North Korea : 67.2 Years

South Korea : 79.8 Years

Keep in Mind Korea has been divided since 1950. North Korea had a higher life expectancy and was more prosperous from the 50's until the 80's then the trend reversed. Now South Korea has the higher life expectancy as you can see the two Koreas had differed for a while.
