After they both reach a mature age they will eventually pass away. Do you mean to say that the average age that young women die in India is lower than the average age when young men die in India? If so then we need to know at what age limit this no longer applies, after the majority of the un-dead girls and boys have grown to adulthood. The trouble with many humanists doing economics is that they don’t care about how inexact their use of language is and that is one reason why they give this subject a bad name and they themselves are ignored.
