Life expectancy gap (female − male)
Tier A· OfficialDescriptiveHow many more years women live than men at birth. Descriptive — a demographic fact, not better or worse.
100 = largest female−male gap, 0 = smallest (or male-favouring) — descriptive, not better or worse
How this score is built
The female − male gap in life expectancy at birth, in years — computed from World Bank life expectancy female (SP.DYN.LE00.FE.IN) minus male (SP.DYN.LE00.MA.IN). Descriptive: women outlive men almost everywhere, but the *size* of the gap reflects biology, behaviour and male mortality (accidents, alcohol, violence, war) — a large gap is not simply good or bad — so it uses a neutral colour and is off the Compare radar. Normalized with min–max; the raw gap is shown.
