   It seems to me as if the gap is closing. There is still a significant   
   gap in the upper age ranges in men due to WWII, there's a dissonance in   
   cultures/locations where men are strongly engaged in violence, and there   
   seems to be a link between poverty and gender disparity, but overall,   
   the gap is closing, and I would not be suprised to see it at 1-3 years   
   in 2030.   
      
   Given that there is almost a three-year gap betwen England and Scotland,   
   I am not _entirely_ convinced at the wisdom of calling this gap   
   'statistically significant.'
