Board Chairman Characteristics and Performance of Islamic Banks: Evidence From Islamic Banks in Indonesia and Malaysia

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to explore the impact of chairman characteristics—specifically age, gender, and education level—on the performance of Islamic banks in Indonesia and Malaysia. The motivation for this research stems from the limited and mixed findings in existing literature regarding the role of leadership traits in shaping bank performance, especially in the context of Islamic banking. This research aims to fill the gap by analyzing how these specific characteristics influence the strategic decisions and overall performance of banks in these two countries, which are home to some of the largest Islamic banks globally. The key finding of this study is that while the age of the chairman significantly impacts performance, gender and education level do not show a notable effect. Methodology: The study employed a quantitative research methodology, using panel data from Islamic banks in Indonesia and Malaysia from 2015-2020. A panel data regression model was utilized to assess the influence of chairman characteristics on bank performance based on financial indicators such as return on assets (ROA). Data were collected from publicly available financial reports over a period of several years, and the characteristics of each chairman, such as age, gender, and education level, were analyzed in relation to these performance. Findings: The results of the regression analysis show that the age of the chairman has a significant positive relationship with bank performance. Older chairmen appear to contribute to better decision-making and long-term strategy formulation, which in turn improves the performance of Islamic banks. However, the gender and education level of the chairman were found to have no significant impact on the performance of these banks during the research period. This suggests that experience, reflected in age, plays a more crucial role than gender or educational background in determining bank performance. Novelty: This study provides valuable insights into the role of leadership chairman characteristics in Islamic banks, with a focus on the importance of age as a key predictor of bank performance. By contrasting the effect of age with gender and education, this research contributes to the ongoing debate about leadership in the financial sector. The novelty lies in its focus on the specific context of Islamic banks in Indonesia and Malaysia, offering a regional perspective on how leadership traits influence bank success. Future research could further explore additional leadership traits or examine a larger dataset across different regions to strengthen these findings.

Understanding climate change conspiracy beliefs: A comparative outlook

Are climate change conspiracy theories widespread across the world, or do we find climate change conspiracy beliefs (CBs) more so in some countries than in others? This research note explores the prevalence of CBs that identify climate change as a hoax across eight geographically and culturally diverse countries. Using original data, we found that climate change CBs are prevalent around the world, with some variations across countries. Our results indicate that political ideology, populist attitudes, age, and distrust of scientists primarily explain climate change conspiracy beliefs. We found cross-national heterogeneity in the importance of age and political ideology as determinants of such beliefs.

Associations between eating habits and mental health among adolescents in five nordic countries: a cross-sectional survey

BackgroundThe role of eating habits in adolescent mental health has become a growing area of interest for researchers and health professionals. Recent studies suggest that healthy eating habits may play a role in the development and management of mental health. However, existing literature is largely based on clinical populations, and comparisons are challenged by sociocultural differences and methodological issues. The aim of the present study was to use nationally representative data based on standardized procedures, to explore associations between adolescents eating habits and mental health, considering the importance of age, gender, socioeconomic factors, and country.MethodsThe study was based on data from Nordic adolescents (age 11, 13 and 15 years) who participated in the 2017/2018 Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) study (n = 22384). General linear modelling and multigroup regression analysis were used to examine the relationship between food habits (intake of fruit, vegetables, sweets, soft drinks), meal habits (intake of breakfast and having family meals together), and mental health (life satisfaction and subjective health complaints). The analyses were weighted and adjusted for age, gender, socio-economic status, and country.ResultsOverall, healthier eating habits were associated with better mental health. The strongest associations were found between meal habits (breakfast consumption and having family meals together) and mental health. Gender and country differences were seen, with weaker associations found among Danish boys.ConclusionEating habits should be considered when promoting mental health in the adolescent population. While gender differences and cross-country variations exist, even minor enhancements in eating behaviors could yield meaningful benefits.

Aging populations and expenditures on health

Aging populations exert upwards pressure on healthcare systems, raising concerns about increasing expenditures on health. This paper reviews the empirical literature on the issue and critically assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the outcomes measured, methodologies used, and the hypotheses tested. While age strongly predicts long-term care expenditure, the time-to-death factor renders the aging effect null for hospital care expenditure. Existing literature disagrees on the importance of age and time-to-death effects on prescription drug and ambulatory care costs. Morbidity and medical innovation mediate these effects, proving crucial for aging-related healthcare expenditure growth. We identify several opportunities for future research including gender differences, utilization of emerging methods, and the importance of institutional settings.

Local and long-distance migration among young people in rural Malawi: importance of age, sex and family.

In sub-Saharan Africa, migration of young people is common and occurs for a variety of reasons. Research focus is often on international or long-distance internal migration; however, shorter moves also affect people's lives and can reveal important information about cultures and societies. In rural sub-Saharan Africa, migration may be influenced by cultural norms and family considerations: these may be changing due to demographic shifts, urbanisation, and increased media access. We used longitudinal data from a Health and Demographic Surveillance Site in rural northern Malawi to present a detailed investigation of migration in young people between 2004-2017. Our focus is on the cultural effects of gender and family, and separate migrations into short and long distance, and independent and accompanied, as these different move types are likely to represent very different events in a young person's life. We use descriptive analyses multi-level multinomial logistic regression modelling. We found two key periods of mobility 1) in very young childhood and 2) in adolescence/young adulthood. In this traditionally patrilocal area, we found that young women move longer distances to live with their spouse, and also were more likely to return home after a marriage ends, rather than remain living independently. Young people living close to relatives tend to have lower chances of moving, and despite the local patrilineal customs, we found evidence of the importance of the maternal family. Female and male children may be treated differently from as young as age 4, with girls more likely to migrate long distances independently, and more likely to accompany their mothers in other moves.

Importance of age at 2nd implantation and interimplant interval to the outcome of bilateral prelingually deafened pediatric cochlear implantation.

In Taiwan, the number of cases of sequential bilateral pediatric cochlear implantation (CI) is increasing but data regarding its effectiveness and impact of the reimbursement policy are lacking. We examined the speech perception and quality of life (QOL) of bilateral prelingually deaf children who underwent sequential CI, considering the effects of age at the time of second implantation and interimplant interval. We enrolled 124 Mandarin-speaking participants who underwent initial cochlear implant (CI1) in 2001-2019 and a second CI (CI2) in 2015-2020. Patients were followed up for ≥2 years and were categorized into groups based on age at the time of CI2 implantation (<3.5, 3.6-7, 7.1-10, 10.1-13, and 13.1-18 years) and interimplant interval (0.5-3, 3.1-5, 5.1-7, 7.1-10, and >10 years). We evaluated speech perception, device usage rates, and QOL using subjective questionnaires (Speech, Spatial, and Qualities of Hearing and Comprehension Cochlear Implant Questionnaire). Speech perception scores of CI2 were negatively correlated with ages at the time of CI1 and CI2 implantation and interimplant interval. Older age and a longer interimplant interval were associated with higher nonuse rates for CI2 and worse auditory performance and QOL. Among individuals aged >13 years with interimplant intervals >10 years, up to 44% did not use their second ear. Patients aged 7.1 to 10 years had better speech perception and higher questionnaire scores than those aged 10.1 to 13 and 13.1 to 18 years. Furthermore, patients aged 10.1 to 13 years had a lower rate of continuous CI2 usage compared to those aged 7.1 to 10 years. Timely implantation of CI2 is essential to achieve optimal outcomes, particularly among sequentially implanted patients with long-term deafness in the second ear and no improvement with hearing aids following CI1 implantation. For CI2 implantation, an upper limit of age of 10 years and interimplant interval of 7 years are essential to prevent suboptimal outcomes. These data can provide useful information to implant recipients, their families, and medical and audiological professionals, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the benefits and potential impacts of the timing of CI2 implantation.

The importance of age in the Roman criminal process

In Roman law there were institutions whose application and, above all, their effects depended on the attainment of a numerically specified age by the subject of the law. Age limits presented in Roman law literature are usually associated with civil law – personal law, and more specifically to the scope of legal capacity, although, of course, a number of other powers exercised under other branches of law were also connected with this capacity. The purpose of this article is to present the results of the research conducted on the juridical sources of Roman law, which revealed texts relating to the problem of age on the grounds of the Roman criminal process. Research conducted on Roman law sources showed that three categories of age were important in the criminal process: 14 years, 20 years and 25 years.

Variation in phenotypic plasticity across age-at-maturity genotypes in wild Atlantic salmon.

Evolution of phenotypic plasticity requires genotype-environment interaction. The discovery of two large-effect loci in the vgll3 and six6 genomic regions associated with the number of years the Atlantic salmon spend feeding at sea before maturation (sea age), provides a unique opportunity to study evolutionary potential of phenotypic plasticity. Using data on 1246 Atlantic salmon caught in the River Surna in Norway, we show that variation in mean sea age among years (smolt cohorts 2013-2018) is influenced by genotype frequencies as well as interaction effects between genotype and year. Genotype-year interactions suggest that genotypes may differ in their response to environmental variation across years, implying genetic variation in phenotypic plasticity. Our results also imply that plasticity in sea age will evolve as an indirect response to selection on mean sea age due to a shared genetic basis. Furthermore, we demonstrate differences between years in the additive and dominance functional genetic effects of vgll3 and six6 on sea age, suggesting that evolutionary responses will vary across environments. Considering the importance of age at maturity for survival and reproduction, genotype-environment interactions likely play an important role in local adaptation and population demography in Atlantic salmon.

Abstract 14460: Impact of Carotid Artery Plaque Detection on Cardiovascular Disease Risk and the Importance of Age in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Background Carotid artery plaque (CAP) predicts future atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events; however, its prevalence increases with age and differs by sex and race/ethnicity, so how its presence influences ASCVD risk in clinical settings is uncertain. Hypothesis: We hypothesized that the impact of CAP detection on relative ASCVD risk declines with age. Methods: CAP was detected and quantified by ultrasound in adults free of clinical ASCVD at Exam 1 of the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis who were followed longitudinally for coronary death, myocardial infarction, angina, stroke, and ASCVD death. Cox proportional hazards models investigated associations of CAP and incident ASCVD events in subsets defined by age categories. These models were adjusted for confounders and an age*CAP interaction. Results: The 5198 participants were a mean (standard deviation) 61.8 (10.1) years old (53% female, 27% Black, 22% Hispanic, 12% Chinese) and experienced 880 ASCVD events over 14.3 (5.7) years. Prevalence of CAP and the age at which 50% of participants had detectable CAP differed by age, sex, and race/ethnicity, ranging from 13% in Chinese women &lt;50 years old to 97% in Non-Hispanic White men 80-84 years old (Figure). CAP presence independently predicted ASCVD events (hazard ratio, 1.35, [95% confidence interval 1.17-1.57], p&lt;0.001), however the strength of this association declined with increasing age (p interaction =0.029, Figure). CAP detection in younger individuals conferred higher relative ASCVD risk than in older participants who had higher absolute risk, regardless of CAP. Conclusions: Prevalence of CAP varies by sex and race/ethnicity. CAP becomes very common with increasing age and its relative association with future ASCVD events declines. These data can assist in guiding ASCVD risk assessment in younger adults and provide perspective for incidentally detected CAP on clinical imaging studies in older adults who have higher absolute ASCVD risk.

Pediatric reference intervals for serum neurofilament light and glial fibrillary acidic protein using the Canadian Laboratory Initiative on Pediatric Reference Intervals (CALIPER) cohort.

Blood biomarkers have the potential to transform diagnosis and prognosis for multiple neurological indications. Establishing normative data is a critical benchmark in the analytical validation process. Normative data are important in children as little is known about how brain development may impact potential biomarkers. The objective of this study is to generate pediatric reference intervals (RIs) for serum neurofilament light (NfL), an axonal marker, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), an astrocytic marker. Serum from healthy children and adolescents aged 1 to <19 years were obtained from the Canadian Laboratory Initiative on Pediatric Reference Intervals (CALIPER) cohort. Serum NfL (n=300) and GFAP (n=316) were quantified using Simoa technology, and discrete RI (2.5th and 97.5th percentiles) and continuous RI (5th and 95th percentiles) were generated. While there was no association with sex, there was a statistically significant (p<0.0001) negative association between age and serum NfL (Rho-0.400) and GFAP (Rho-0.749). Two statistically significant age partitions were generated for NfL: age 1 to <10 years (lower, upper limit; 3.13, 20.6 pg/mL) and 10 to <19 years (1.82, 7.44 pg/mL). For GFAP, three statistically significant age partitions were generated: age 1 to <3.5 years (80.4, 601 pg/mL); 3.5 to <11 years (50.7, 224 pg/mL); and 11 to <19 years (26.2, 119 pg/mL). Taken together with the literature on adults, NfL and GFAP display U-shaped curves with high levels in infants, decreasing levels during childhood, a plateau during adolescence and early adulthood and increasing levels in seniors. These normative data are expected to inform future pediatric studies on the importance of age on neurological blood biomarkers.

Situational analysis of nutritional status among 1899 children presenting with cleft lip and/or palate in Indonesia.

Given the increased risk of malnutrition in children with cleft lip and/or palate (CLP), determining their nutritional status is critical for preventing adverse surgical risks. However, no such disaggregated, national-level data are available in Indonesia. We aimed to determine the nutritional status of patients with clefts in Indonesia and to identify problems and solutions for malnutrition cases within the population. In this cross-sectional study, we considered records of individuals who underwent primary surgery for CLP in Smile Train-sponsored facilities in Indonesia between 1 January 2016 and 31 December 2021 (n = 18 480). We only included children under the age of five with an evaluation date prior to admission date and excluded subjects with invalid data values. We classified their nutritional status by z-scores according to the World Health Organization Child Growth Standard (2006). Malnutrition cases cover four indicators - stunting, wasting, underweight, and overweight. We compared the prevalence for malnutrition cases in children under the age of five using national health survey data. We included 1899 records following data validation. The national prevalence of stunting (24.4%), wasting (12.5%), and overweight cases (12.9%) was high, while underweight cases (6.8%) were comparatively low. Statistical analyses showed significant differences in nutritional status based on length/height-for-age between girls and boys aged 0-5 months (P = 0.008) and 48-60 months (P = 0.001), and based on body mass index-for-age (P = 0.000) between girls and boys aged 0-5 months. Girls in different age groups exhibited a statistically significant difference in nutritional status based on length/height-for-age (P = 0.002) and weight-for-age (P = 0.017). Concurrent stunting and overweight were the most common forms of concurrent malnutrition (8.7%). We found a significant difference in the prevalence of underweight (P = 0.001) and overweight (P = 0.000) cases between children with CLP and those without CLP. Our findings highlight the importance of nutritional interventions for children with orofacial clefts in Indonesia, and the importance of age and gender in their design and implementation. Further investigation is necessary to explore the risks of overweight and concurrent malnutrition among this population.

The younger the better: importance of age in treatment of childhood obesity

Children living with obesity are prevalent worldwide. It is an established finding that many children who start a lifestyle intervention tend to leave prematurely. The aim of this study was to identify characteristics in children with obesity who prematurely leave a lifestyle intervention. The cohort study includes children living with obesity aged 4–17, treated in a Danish family-centered lifestyle intervention between 2014 and 2017. Data were collected from patient records. BMI-SDS was calculated using an external Danish reference population and multivariable regression analysis was used to answer the research question. Of the 159 children included, 64 children who left the intervention within the first 1.5 years were older compared to those who stayed in the intervention (10.2 years ± 2.9 vs 11.5 years ± 3.1, p = 0.005). Older participants (> 66.6th percentile) had a shorter treatment duration (489 days) compared to the youngest (190 days 95% CI: 60; 320, p = 0.005) and middle third (224 days 95% CI: 89; 358, p = 0.001). Additionally, an inverse association was found between duration of treatment and age at baseline (−31 days, 95% CI (−50; −13), p = 0.001). Conclusion: The risk of leaving a lifestyle intervention prematurely was primarily dependent on the age of the participants, emphasizing the importance of including children early in lifestyle interventions.What is Known:•Lifestyle interventions for childhood obesity that are shorter in duration often lead to short-term weight reductions only. Limited knowledge exists on why some children prematurely leave these interventions.What is New:•This study observes a solid inverse correlation and association between age and time spent in the interventions, when treating childhood obesity. We hereby suggest age as an important determinant for the adherence to lifestyle interventions and emphasize the importance of treatment early in life.

Development of expert consensus to guide physical rehabilitation in children and adolescents with acquired brain injury during the subacute phase.

To develop consensus among experts to guide physical rehabilitation in children and adolescents with acquired brain injury during the subacute phase. International Delphi study. A 3-round online Delphi study was conducted with 11 international experts in rehabilitation for children and adolescents with acquired brain injury. The first round consisted of open-ended questions; the second and third round consisted of ranking 139 statements on a 5-point Likert scale. The panel reached consensus on 116/139 statements. Consensus was reached on the importance of age, pre-injury developmental stage and the clinical presentation of the child when determining content and focus of physical rehabilitation. In addition, consensus was reached on the importance of participation-focused interventions, and involvement of family members in goal-setting and therapeutic activities. Although dosage was deemed very important, no consensus was reached for determination of dose-response variables to suit and influence the child's needs. This study provides a framework for clinicians to design physical rehabilitation interventions in children with acquired brain injury in the sub-acute recovery phase. The promotion of physical activity in meaningful contexts and involvement of family members are considered as important components to optimize recovery.

THE BENEFITS OF NANOSTRUCTURED TRANSDERMAL HORMONAL REPLACEMENT THERAPY IN OROFACIAL HARMOZIZATION TREATMENT

The demand for aesthetic and rejuvenating treatments is increasing in society, with that the demand for orofacial harmonization increases exponentially every day. Orofacial harmonization is a set of procedures performed by the Dentist / Dental Surgeon, which aims at the aesthetic and functional balance of the face. Steroid hormones are of great importance in aging due to the decrease of some during this process. However, poor diet including sugar consumption, changes in the sleep cycle, alcohol use, tobacco, lack of exercise and excessive exposure to UV rays also contribute to aging. We present the case of a female patient, 47 years old, who had failures in her menstrual cycle for more than 6 months, and the presence of melasma. Laboratory tests revealed changes in her hormone and vitamin levels, the clinical examination reported dry skin with blemishes, and she also reported excessive fatigue. In order to stabilize melasma and improve the appearance of the skin and obtain a better result in orofacial harmonization, bioidentical steroid hormone replacement therapy and vitamin supplementation were performed. Within 3 months of starting therapy with testosterone, progesterone, melatonin, vitamin D, and supplementation with nutraceuticals, it was observed that during treatment the patient showed a change in the appearance of her skin. The results show that in order to obtain a good response to the orofacilli harmonization treatment, it is extremely important to have a correct homeostasis.

P-451 Fertility awareness among Tunisian university students: A state-of-knowledge survey

Abstract Study question To investigate the beliefs and knowledge of university students regarding fertility. Summary answer University students are aware of the impact of unhealthy lifestyle on fertility. There are however misconceptions about the ideal age for childbearing and treatment limits. What is known already The gradual decline in fertility is currently well documented. Furthermore, the mean age of first-time mothers is increasing, especially in groups with higher educational levels. However, the level of awareness (sensitization) of couples to infertility factors such as female age and environmental factors is not well-known. Study design, size, duration A 12 items-questionnaire on infertility aspects « 12QSI » was previously developed and validated. The questionnaire is divided into 3 sections: (i) epidemiology of infertility, (ii) causes and risk factors for infertility, and (iii) treatment of infertility. A seven-month online survey of a random sample of Tunisian students was conducted. Data collection was carried out via Google Forms® by sharing the link on social media platforms and groups. Participants/materials, setting, methods The survey was completed by 800 respondents. We retained 775 responses according to the inclusion criteria: complete response, being of childbearing age and attending university education. Statistics were obtained using SPSS® software. Main results and the role of chance Participants were 24.6 ± 5 years of age on average. Almost 57% were women. The average knowledge score was 56.7 ± 28%. The lowest scores were found for the questions on infertility treatment (only 15% of correct answers) with an overestimation of the chances of success of Assisted reproductive technology (ART). An underestimation of the impact of age on both male and female fertility was reported. The mean score was significantly better for the group of respondents studying medicine than for the rest (63 ± 32% vs. 48 ± 26%; p &amp;lt; 0.001), and for respondents who have faced an infertility problem compared to those who have not (65 ± 28% vs. 56.3 ± 29%; p &amp;lt; 0.001). Limitations, reasons for caution The representativeness of the sample is not ensured. Survey distribution only through social networks could be a limit. Wider implications of the findings Over-optimism regarding the importance of age and the effectiveness of infertility treatments is noted, which can lead to unintended infertility. Educational programs should be developed to address erroneous beliefs and to increase the population`s knowledge of fertility. Trial registration number

Chronic kidney disease in the elderly and frail patient: perspectives with opinions and comments.

Chronic kidney disease is common in elderly and frail people. The importance of age in staging chronic kidney disease is discussed as well as the possible constraints of staging what is actually a 'continuum' of disease progression. Frailty is a biological state characterized by the decline of several physiological systems and strongly correlated with adverse health outcomes, including mortality. Frailty is measured by the Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment, which focuses on quantitative rating scales that determine not only the clinical profile and pathological risk of frail individuals, but also their residual capacities, functional status, and quality of life. There is circumstantial evidence that Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment can improve both survival and quality of life in elderly chronic kidney disease patients. Despite the long list of emerging risk factors and markers of chronic kidney disease progression, it is the authors' opinion that a single biochemical parameter can hardly cover the complexity of chronic kidney disease in elderly and frail patients. Among the numerous clinical scores proposed, the European Renal Best Practice guidelines recommend the Renal Epidemiology and Information Network score and the Kidney Failure Risk Equations. The former provides a reasonable estimate of short-term mortality risk, the latter provides the risk of chronic kidney disease progression. In conclusion, the elderly individual with advanced chronic kidney disease is often comorbid and frail with peculiarities in terms of disease grading, clinical assessment and monitoring. The time has come to reshape the care of this growing number of patients by focusing on multidisciplinary teams both in the hospital and in the community.

Selecting patients for early interdisciplinary rehabilitation during neurointensive care after moderate to severe traumatic brain injury.

Early interdisciplinary rehabilitation (EIR) in neurointensive care is a limited resource reserved for patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) believed to profit from treatment. We evaluated how key parameters related to injury severity and patient characteristics were predictive of receiving EIR, and whether these parameters changed over time. Among 1003 adult patients with moderate to severe TBI admitted over 72 h to neurointensive care unit during four time periods between 2005 and 2020, EIR was given to 578 and standard care to 425 patients. Ten selection criteria thought to best represent injury severity and patient benefit were evaluated (Glasgow Coma Scale, Head Abbreviated Injury Scale, New-Injury-Severity-Scale, intracranial pressure monitoring, neurosurgery, age, employment, Charlson Comorbidity Index, severe psychiatric disease, and chronic substance abuse). In multivariate regression analysis, patients who were employed (adjOR 1.99 [95% CI 1.41, 2.80]), had no/mild comorbidity (adjOR 3.15 [95% CI 1.72, 5.79]), needed neurosurgery, had increasing injury severity and were admitted by increasing time period were more likely to receive EIR, whereas receiving EIR was less likely with increasing age (adjOR 0.97 [95% CI 0.96, 0.98]) and chronic substance abuse. Overall predictive ability of the model was 71%. Median age and comorbidity increased while employment decreased from 2005 to 2020, indicating patient selection became less restrictive with time. Injury severity and need for neurosurgery remain important predictors for receiving EIR, but the importance of age, employment, and comorbidity have changed over time. Moderate prediction accuracy using current clinical criteria suggest unrecognized factors are important for patient selection.

Local and long-distance migration among young people in rural Malawi: importance of age, sex and family

Background: In sub-Saharan Africa, migration of young people is common and occurs for a variety of reasons. Research focus is often on international or long-distance internal migration; however, shorter moves also affect people’s lives and can reveal important information about cultures and societies. In rural sub-Saharan Africa, migration may be influenced by cultural norms and family considerations: these may be changing due to demographic shifts, urbanisation, and increased media access. Methods: We used longitudinal data from a Health and Demographic Surveillance Site in rural northern Malawi to present a detailed description of short and long distance, independent and accompanied, migration in young people between 2004-2017. We further explore the family and household factors which are associated with these moves using multi-level multinomial logistic regression modelling. Results &amp; conclusions: We found two key periods of mobility 1) in very young childhood and 2) in adolescence/young adulthood. In this traditionally patrilocal area, we found that young women move longer distances, to live with their spouse. Despite the local patrilineal customs, we found evidence of the importance of the maternal family, and that female and male children may be treated differently from as young as age 4, with girls more likely to migrate long distances independently, and more likely to accompany their mothers in other moves. Young people living close to relatives tend to have lower chances of moving, and those from more advantaged families are more likely to move.
