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 in all countries can anticipate to live longer than her brother.
This chart illustrates that, although there is a women's advantage in all countries, the differences across countries can be substantial. In Russia women have an average of 10 years more than males; while in Bhutan the gap is just half one year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The female advantage in terms of life expectancy was lower in countries with higher incomes than it is now.
Let's look at the way that female advantages in longevity has changed with time. The following chart shows the male and female lifespans at birth in the US during the time period between 1790 and 2014. Two things stand out.
First, there is an upward trend. Men and women in the United States live longer than they were a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
Second, the gap is growing: Although the female advantage in life expectancy used to be tiny, اوضاع الجماع it has increased substantially with time.
If you select the option "Change country from the chart, determine if these two points also apply to the other countries with available data: Sweden, France and the UK.
