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 so longer than men in the present and why have these advantages gotten bigger over time? We only have a few clues and the evidence isn't strong enough to make a definitive conclusion. We know there are biological, psychological, and environmental factors that play an integral role in women who live longer than men, we do not know how much each one contributes.

In spite of the precise number of pounds, we know that at least part of the reason women live so much longer than men however not as in the past, is to be due to the fact that several significant non-biological elements have changed. What are the factors that are changing? 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.

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 means that a newborn girl from any country can anticipate to live longer than her younger brother.

This chart shows that, although there is a women's advantage everywhere, cross-country differences can be substantial. In Russia, women live 10 years more than men. In Bhutan, the difference is only half a year.

__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage for women in life expectancy was smaller in the richer countries than it is now.
Let's now look at how the female advantage in longevity has changed over time. The next chart compares male and female life expectancy when they were born in the US between 1790 and 2014. Two distinct features stand out.

There is an upward trend. Women and men in America live longer than they used to a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.

The gap is increasing: While the advantage of women in terms of life expectancy was quite small but it has risen significantly over time.

You can verify that the points you've listed are applicable to other countries with data by selecting the "Change country" option in the chart.
