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 makes women live longer than men and how have these advantages gotten bigger in the past? We have only a small amount of evidence and the evidence is not sufficient to reach a definitive conclusion. We are aware that behavioral, biological and environmental factors all contribute to the fact that women have longer life spans than men, However, we're not sure how much the influence of each of these factors is.

In spite of the amount of weight, we are aware that at least part of the reason women live longer than men do today however not as previously, has to be due to the fact that several significant non-biological elements have changed. These variables are evolving. Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. Others 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.

The first chart below shows life expectancy at birth for men and women. We can see that all countries are above the diagonal line of parity - this means in all countries that a baby girl can be expected to live longer than a newborn boy.1

Interestingly, this chart shows that although the female advantage exists across all countries, the cross-country differences are large. In Russia women have an average of 10 years more than men; in Bhutan the difference is less than half an hour.

The advantage women had in life expectancy was less in developed countries than it is now.
Let's see how the female longevity advantage has changed in the course of time. The chart below shows male and female life expectancies at the birth in the US during the period 1790-2014.

First, 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.

Second, the gap is growing: Although the female advantage in life expectancy used to be quite small however, it has grown significantly over time.
