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 - it means that in all nations that a baby girl can be expected to live for longer than a new boy.1

This graph shows that although there is a women's advantage throughout the world, the differences between countries can be substantial. In Russia, women live 10 years longer than males. In Bhutan the difference is just half a year.

__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage for women in life expectancy was much lower in rich countries than it is today.
Let's examine how the female advantage in longevity has changed over time. The following chart shows the male and female life expectancy at the time of birth in the US in the years 1790 to 2014. Two specific points stand out.

There is an upward trend. Both genders in America live longer than they used to 100 years ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.

And second, there is an ever-widening gap: female advantage in life expectancy used be very small but it increased substantially in the past century.

If you select the option "Change country' on the chart, you can determine if these two points also apply to other countries that have available data: Sweden, France and the UK.
