System Brief

Public Life Expectancy is a Healthcare Standard, that defines the expected lifespan of a person expressed in years. This standard is used as the foundation for each member’s Lifetime Labor Obligation (LLO).

The LLO determines how much labor a person will need to perform to offset the resource requirements to maintain said person. The longer a person is expected to live, the more resources they will require to maintain their life.

System Functions

The LLO is calculated by a person’s Life Expectancy divided in half. This number will determine how many years worth of labor is required to maintain the person.

Life Expectancy will be calculated by a Healthcare Committee.

Once a person has fulfilled their LLO, they are considered “retired” from having to perform their community’s Cycle Labor Obligation (CLO).

• This does not mean a person will have to labor for the full duration of the LLO, there will be opportunities for people to “work in advance” and achieve an early retirement.

System Output

The Life Expectancy Standard and LLO assign each member a labor status:

• CLO Eligible
  • If the LLO has not been fulfilled, the member is considered CLO Eligible.
• CLO Exempt
  • If the LLO has been fulfilled, the member is considered CLO Exempt.

If a person lives beyond their Life Expectancy, they do not have to perform additional labor to offset the additional resources. The time difference from expectancy to reality influences the Public Life Expectancy for the next generation of people.

• Dying after your LE adds time to the Public LE Standard
• Dying at your LE maintains the Public LE Standard
• Dying before your LE removes time from the Public LE Standard

Every person influences this standard, no matter how they live their lives.
