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. What's the reason women have a longer life span than men? And how does this benefit increase over time? The evidence is sketchy and we have only incomplete solutions. We know that biological, behavioral and environmental factors contribute to the fact that women have longer lives than men, but we don't know exactly how much the influence of each of these factors is.

Independently of the exact amount, we can say that at a minimum, the reason women live so much longer than men in the present however not as in the past, has to relate to the fact that some important non-biological aspects have changed. What are these changing factors? Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. Certain are more complicated. For example, there is evidence that in rich countries the female advantage increased in part because infectious diseases used to affect women disproportionately a century ago, so advances in medicine that reduced the long-term health burden from infectious diseases, especially for survivors, ended up raising women's longevity disproportionately.
