Everywhere in the world women tend to live longer than men
The first chart below shows life expectancy at birth for men and women. It is clear that all countries are over the diagonal line of parity. This implies that a baby girl from any country can expect to live longer than her older brother.

This chart is interesting in that it shows that the advantage of women is present everywhere, country-specific differences are huge. In Russia women have a longer life span than men. In Bhutan the difference is less than half a year.

__S.17__
__S.19__
The advantage women had in life expectancy was much lower in countries with higher incomes than it is now.
Let's look at how female longevity advantage has changed over time. The chart below illustrates the gender-based and female-specific life expectancy when they were born in the US from 1790 to 2014. Two areas stand out.

There is an upward trend. Both genders in America live longer than they were a century ago. This is in line with historical increases in life expectancy everywhere in the world.

Second, the gap is widening: While the advantage of women in life expectancy was tiny however, it has grown significantly with time.

Using the option 'Change country by country' in the chart, determine if these two points are applicable to the other countries with available data: Sweden, France and the UK.
