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 over the diagonal line of parity. This implies that a baby girl from every country could anticipate to live longer than her brothers.
This graph shows that while there is a female advantage in all countries, the differences across countries can be substantial. In Russia women live for 10 years longer than males. In Bhutan there is a difference of less that half a year.
__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage of women in terms of life expectancy was lower in countries with higher incomes than it is now.
Let's see how the female longevity advantage has changed in the course of time. The chart below shows men and women's life expectancies at birth in the US between 1790 to 2014. Two areas stand out.
There is an upward trend. Both genders in America have longer lives than they used to 100 years ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.
There is an increase in the gap between men and women: female advantage in life expectancy used to be extremely small, but it grew substantially during the last century.
You can check if the points you've listed are applicable to other countries that have information by clicking on the "Change country" option in the chart. This includes the UK, France, and Sweden.
