Everywhere in the world women live longer than men - but this was not always the case. The available data from rich countries shows that women didn't live longer than men in the 19th century. Why do women live longer than men and why is this difference growing over time? The evidence isn't conclusive and we're left with only limited answers.

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, every country is above the diagonal parity line - this means that in all countries baby girls can expect to live for longer than a new boy.1

This graph shows that while there is a female advantage in all countries, the differences across countries could be significant. In Russia women live 10 years more than males. In Bhutan, the difference is just half a year.

__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage women had in terms of life expectancy was lower in the richer countries that it is today.
We will now examine how the female advantage in longevity has changed with time. The next chart plots male and female life expectancy at birth in the US from 1790 to 2014. Two things stand out.

The first is that there is an upward trend. Both genders living in America are living longer than they used to 100 years ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.

The second is that there is a widening gap: The female advantage in terms of life expectancy used to be extremely small however, it has increased significantly in the past century.

It is possible to verify that these are applicable to other countries with data by clicking the "Change country" option on the chart. This includes the UK, France, and Sweden.
