Population

Today we talked about population. This included how Morocco has the longest life expectancy, and how women live longer. Here is part of an article from Our World Data that talks about why women live longer. "Independently of the exact weight, we know that at least part of the reason why women live so much longer than men today, but not in the past, has to do with the fact that some key non-biological factors have changed. What are these changing factors? Some are well known and relatively straightforward, like the fact that men smoke more often. Other are more complicated. For example, new evidence shows that in rich countries the female advantage increased in part because infectious diseases used to affect women disproportionately a century ago, so advances in medicine that reduced the long-term health burden from infectious diseases, especially for survivors, ended up raising women’s longevity disproportionately." This just gives information on how women who live in wealthy places live much longer. In the end, I am very glad I am a male rather than a female even thought they live longer.
