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 diagonal line of parity. This implies that a baby girl in all countries can anticipate to live longer than her brother.
The chart above shows that the advantage of women exists everywhere, the difference between countries is huge. In Russia, women live for 10 years longer than males. In Bhutan, the difference is less than half a calendar year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
In rich countries the female advantage in longevity was previously smaller.
Let's look at how the gender advantage in longevity has changed with time. The chart below shows male and female life expectancies at birth in the US during the period 1790 until 2014. Two areas stand out.
There is an upward trend. Both genders in the United States live longer than they were 100 years ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
The second is that there is an ever-widening gap: female advantage in terms of life expectancy used be very small but it increased substantially during the last century.
Using the option 'Change country from the chart, كيفية ممارسة العلاقة الزوجية فى الاسلام you are able to determine if these two points also apply to other countries that have available data: Sweden, France and the UK.
