Everywhere in the world women tend to live longer than men
The first chart below shows life expectancy at birth for men and women. As we can see, all countries are above the diagonal parity line ; which means that in every country that a baby girl can be expected to live longer than a new boy.1
This chart illustrates that, while there is a female advantage across all countries, differences between countries could be significant. In Russia women have an average of 10 years more than men; in Bhutan the difference is less than half one year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
In wealthy countries, the advantage of women in longevity was not as great.
Let's examine the way that female advantages in life expectancy has changed over time. The chart below illustrates the male and female life expectancy at the time of birth in the US during the period 1790 to 2014. Two aspects stand out.
First, there is an upward trend. Men and women living in America are living longer than they did a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
Second, there's an ever-widening gap: female advantage in terms of life expectancy used be extremely small however, it has increased significantly during the last century.
When you click on the option "Change country in the chart, you can determine if these two points apply to the other countries having available information: Sweden, France and the UK.
