Everywhere in the world women live longer than men - but this was not always the case. The available data from rich countries shows that women didn't live longer than men in the 19th century.

Everywhere in the world women tend to live longer than men
The first chart below shows life expectancy at birth for men and ابر التخسيس women. It is clear that every country is over the line of parity diagonally. This implies that a baby girl from every country could be expected to live for longer than her older brother.
This graph shows that while there is a female advantage across all countries, differences between countries can be substantial. In Russia, women live 10 years more than males. In Bhutan the gap is less than half a calendar year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage of women in life expectancy was smaller in the richer countries that it is today.
Let's look at the way that female advantages in life expectancy has changed over time. The chart below shows gender-based and female-specific life expectancy at the birth in the US during the period 1790-2014. Two specific points stand out.
The first is that there is an upward trend. Men and women in the US live much, much longer than they did a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
Second, the gap is increasing: While the advantage of women in terms of life expectancy was extremely small It has significantly increased over time.
By selecting 'Change Country from the chart, you are able to check that these two points also apply to the other countries with available information: Sweden, France and the UK.
