HumanMortalityDatabase
This service accesses data from the human mortality database which tabulates death rates broken down by age group and gender for various countries.
For more information, see https://www.mortality.org/.
Note: for countries that don’t report separate male and female death counts, the gender breakdowns are just the total multiplied by a rough estimate of the percent of people in that country who are male/female.
