Abstract Life expectancy is a key indicator of population health and human development, reflecting mortality conditions, healthcare access, and socio-economic status. The present study examines gender differences in life expectancy in Jalna District of Maharashtra over the period 2011–2021. The study is based on both secondary data from the Sample Registration System (SRS), Census of India, National Family Health Survey (NFHS), District Statistical Handbook, and Health Department reports, as well as primary data collected from 100 households across the district. Since district-level life table data are unavailable, life expectancy has been estimated indirectly using Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) through the regression method developed by the International Institute for Population Sciences (IIPS). The findings reveal a declining trend in infant mortality and a gradual increase in life expectancy for both males and females during the study period. Female life expectancy remains higher than male life expectancy, indicating persistent gender differences in survival. The study highlights the need for gender-sensitive and region-specific health policies to improve longevity and reduce health inequalities in Jalna District.
