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 every country is above the line of parity diagonally. This implies that a baby girl in every country can expect to live longer than her younger brother.
This chart illustrates that, even though women enjoy an advantage throughout the world, the differences between countries could be significant. In Russia women live 10 years longer than males. In Bhutan the gap is just half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
In wealthy countries, the women's advantage in longevity was previously smaller.
Let's look at how female longevity advantage has changed over time. The next chart compares male and female life expectancies when they were born in the US between 1790 and 2014. Two areas stand out.
The first is that there is an upward trend. Men and women in the US have a much longer life span longer today than a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
And second, there is an ever-widening gap: اوضاع الجماع female advantage in life expectancy used be quite small but it increased substantially during the last century.
If you select the option "Change country in the chart, you can verify that these two points also apply to other countries that have available data: Sweden, France and the UK.
