There is little evidence on the association between women’s migration, empowerment, and well-being, driven in part due to difficulty in measuring empowerment in the migration context.
Objective: An annualized linear growth velocity (LGV) reference can identify groups of children at risk of growing poorly.
Do individuals’ perceptions of their relative economic status affect their attitudes regarding gender roles in patriarchal societies?
