How do death rates in each age group contribute to the overall sex gap in
life expectancy?
The total height of the curve shows the total sex gap in life expectancy in years (female minus male). Positive values indicatehigher life expectancy in females. The stacked areas show how the gap arises from sex differences in death rates in each agegroup.
