Women still live longer, but men are catching up
Women continue to outlive men - by an average of four and a half years - but men gradually are closing that gap.
That was the key finding of the Credit Suisse Longevity Index, which was launched last month by Credit Suisse First Boston LLC in New York. The shrinking gap means that insurers and retirement funds may have to hedge their risks to account for additional pension and annuity payouts due to the longer male life span, the company noted.
