You need to understand math to suss this out.
If you are talking about AVERAGE then the numbers are skewed by the extremes. For example, if Bill Gates walks into a room, the average wealth of everyone in the room goes up astronomically.
Likewise, if a country has a high infant/child mortality rate, this will skew the numbers way downward since you are averaging in very low numbers with all the median numbers and high numbers.
The same thing is true of those who say that men don’t live as long ON AVERAGE as women in the USA. Two things make that true but don’t tell the real truth.
1. Male babies die at a higher rate than female babies
2. Young males (15-25) die at higher rate than young females (car accidents, accidents in general, military service). This used not to be true when young women died more often in childbirth or from complication from childbirth (sepsis), but the advent of modern medicine and antibiotics changed that.
So that is how they arrive at the women live longer than men on average. If you start averaging after people have reached age 50, men and women have a more equal rate of longevity. This is because all the low age numbers are eliminated from the averages.
It’s just math.
I want to see a map showing the percentage of people living at each year of age.
