Докладчики: Павел Деркачев (Институт институциональных исследований НИУ ВШЭ, Институт образования НИУ ВШЭ), Игорь Федотенков (Институт институциональных исследований НИУ ВШЭ)

In all developed countries, women live longer than men. Differences in longevities are country-specific and change in time. In a cross-country analysis, we study the gender longevity gap dependence on various socio-economic indicators and test a number of contradicting theories.  For example, there is a theory, which claims that higher women participation in labor market shall raise the gender longevity gap. At the same time, there are other theories, which claim the opposite. Our preliminary estimates, based on the OECD and EU data, are in line with the later theories.  Also, our results confirm the findings of studies based on regional data that higher economic growth and lower income inequality reduce the gender longevity gap. Finally, we test a hypothesis that negative ecological factors increase the gender longevity gap and confirm it.
