Everywhere in the world women tend to live longer than men
The first chart below shows life expectancy at birth for men and women. We can see that all countries are over the line of parity diagonally. This means that a newborn girl in all countries can expect to live longer than her older brother.
This chart illustrates that, although women have an advantage across all countries, differences between countries could be significant. In Russia women live 10 years longer than men. In Bhutan, the difference is less than half a calendar year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage for women in life expectancy was less in the richer countries as compared to the present.
Let's now look at how the female advantage in longevity has changed over time. The following chart shows the life expectancy of males and females at birth in the US from 1790 to 2014. Two points stand out.
There is an upward trend. Men and women in America live longer than they were 100 years ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
The gap is widening: While the advantage of women in life expectancy was tiny It has significantly increased over time.
By selecting 'Change Country from the chart, you can verify that these two points also apply to other countries with available information: Sweden, France and the UK.
