Everywhere in the world women tend to live longer than men
The first chart below shows life expectancy at birth for men and women. It is clear that all countries are over the line of parity diagonally. This implies that a baby girl in all countries can expect to live longer than her brothers.
Interestingly, this chart shows that while the female advantage exists everywhere, the global differences are significant. In Russia women have a longer life span than males; while in Bhutan the difference is just half each year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
In wealthy countries, the advantage of women in longevity was not as great.
Let's examine how the gender advantage in terms of longevity has changed over time. The chart below shows male and female life expectancy at the birth in the US from 1790-2014. Two things stand out.
First, there is an upward trend. Women and men in the United States live longer than they did a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
The gap is getting wider: Although the female advantage in life expectancy used to be tiny however, it has grown significantly with time.
Using the option 'Change country by country' in the chart, check that these two points also apply to other countries with available data: Sweden, France and the UK.
