Interesting how consistent this age gap is over time, across countries and age groups, despite the fact that the causes for it keep changing: infant death, war, risk taking, suicide, disease.
With all those variables so very variable, you'd think there would be more periods where men's life expectancy would be higher than that of women, but that seems to be extremely rare (India in 1950 seems to be the only one).
