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 diagonal parity line ; this means in all countries a newborn girl can expect to live for longer than a newborn boy.1
Interestingly, this chart shows that the advantage of women exists everywhere, the country-specific differences are huge. In Russia women live for 10 years longer than men. In Bhutan the gap is less than half a calendar year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage women had in terms of life expectancy was lower in developed countries than it is today.
Let's examine how the female longevity advantage 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 things stand out.
First, there is an upward trend. Men as well as women in the US live a lot, much longer today than a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
There is an increasing gap: The female advantage in terms of life expectancy used be quite small however it increased dramatically in the past century.
You can check if these principles are also applicable to other countries that have data by clicking on the "Change country" option in the chart. This includes the UK, France, and Sweden.
