DEFINITION: The average number of years to be lived by a females in this nation born in the same year, if mortality at each age remains constant in the future. Life expectancy at birth is also a measure of overall quality of life in a country and summarizes the mortality at all ages. It can also be thought of as indicating the potential return on investment in human capital and is necessary for the calculation of various actuarial measures.

COMMENTARY     

Amy+Becker
28th July 2010 		Edria, you said: "life expectancy for females is typically higher than that of males for discrepancies due to certain factors but often when all things are equal, males do die earlier. Unborn males die at almost twice the rate as unborn girls and newborn males have a higher death rate than newborn girls. I think the best reason for this was written about by Ashley Montagu who wrote "The Natural Superiority of Women" which shows that instead of being the superior gender as most males brag about, males as a whole are actually much weaker than women. It is this natural weakness which causes males to die sooner and it is our superiority as women which make us the stronger gender. Along with biological weakness, males also have a higher tendency for violence in which they most often kill other males thus reducing the male life expectancy even further.

Life expectancy at birth is one of the

indicators of the United Nations
href=/graph/eco_hum_dev_ind&int=-1>human

development index.


In developing countries male and female life

expectancy are very close, due largely to the

risks of childbirth.



However in developed countries, life expectancy

for females is typically higher than that of

males. This discrepancy is due to the followng

factors:


  • Young males (15 to 24 years) are four to five

    times more likely to die than women of the same

    age. In this age group, the major causes of death

    are motor vehicle accidents, followed by homicide,

    suicide, cancer, and drownings.


  • Middle aged men (55 to 64 years) also die more

    often than women of the same age. In this age

    group the major causes of death are heart disease,

    suicide, motor vehicle accidents, and illnesses

    related to smoking and alcohol use.


For further comparison of life expectency see

the probability of reaching age 65 (
href=/graph/hea_pro_of_rea_65_mal>male and


href=/graph/hea_pro_of_rea_65_fem&int=-1>female<
