Everywhere in the world women tend to live longer than men
The first chart below shows life expectancy at birth for men and women. It is clear that all countries are over the line of parity diagonally. This means that a newborn girl from any country can anticipate to live longer than her younger brother.
The chart below shows that although women have an advantage across all countries, differences between countries are often significant. In Russia women have an average of 10 years more than men, while in Bhutan the difference is less than half an hour.
__S.17__
__S.19__
In wealthy countries, the advantage of women in longevity was smaller
Let's see how the female longevity advantage has changed over time. The following chart shows male and female life expectancy at birth in the US from 1790 to 2014. Two distinct features stand out.
The first is that there is an upward trend. as well as women in the US live a lot, much longer than they did 100 years ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
The gap is widening: While the female advantage in life expectancy used to be very small, it has increased substantially over time.
It is possible to verify that the points you've listed are applicable to other countries that have information by clicking on the "Change country" option on the chart. This includes the UK, France, and Sweden.
