How many years men live on average. Almost everywhere less than women.
The ranking uses the latest available value for each country. For all of them that is 2024.
Top-20 · years
The scale does not start at zero — the values lie in a narrow range, and starting from zero the bars would be indistinguishable. The axis ticks are labeled.

Life expectancy at birth for men. Men live shorter lives than women in practically every country in the world, and this is one of the most stable differences in all of demography — but the size of the gap varies severalfold: from two or three years in South Asia to ten and more in Eastern Europe, where excess male mortality at working ages is especially large.
Important: The aggregate for country groups is weighted by the male population rather than by the whole population: the share of men across countries ranges from 48 to 70 percent, and in countries with heavy labor migration the difference is substantial.
How many years women live on average. The difference from the male figure is one of the most asked-about indicators.
Demography 1960–2024 Life expectancy at birthLife expectancy at birth — how many years a newborn will live on average.
Mortality 1960–2024 Adult mortality rate, maleHow many men out of a thousand fifteen-year-olds will not live to sixty.
Mortality 2000–2021 Healthy life expectancyHow many years a person lives on average without severe illness and limitation.
