Depends on the country

More industrialized countries tend to have a higher / longer life span and non industrialized countries tend to have a shorter one. And yes, it's typically longer for women than for men.

I searched it and found several answers, this one has a bit more information about it.

"It's different for every country, and probably for every community.
Probably around about 65 if the world is taken as a whole.
Based of course only on the ages at death of people who have died, so it is only a predicted average for those of us still living."
