Gender Differences in the Journey to Work

Abstract: It is now well established in geographic research that women commute shorter distances to work than men. This paper attempts to explore the common features that have emerged from the last two decades of research in various places within a metropolitan context. Three main sets of factors that may cause women to commute shorter distances are recognized: residence, employment, and transportation-each containing both social and spatial aspects. The analysis is centered around the spatial aspect. Most research on e… Show more

“…In neueren Arbeiten ist das Bild jedoch nicht mehr so einheitlich (Nisic 2010). Diese Arbeiten weisen darauf hin, dass mit der Umzugsmobilität das falsche Phänomen betrachtet wird, denn Fernumzüge werden insbesondere in Paarhaushalten zunehmend durch Pendelmobilität substituiert (Grobecker et al 2009;Kalter 1998;Meil 2008 (Clark et al 2003;Crane 2007;Blumen 1994 …”

“…Antizipieren Frauen bereits die Rolle des tied-Partners, sollten sie Berufe wählen, die regional mçglichst ubiquitär sind (Clark et al 2003;MacDonald 1999 Camstra 1996). Klassischer im Sinne von Rollentheorien ist aber die Annahme der "male dominance" (Kain 1962) oder "male chauvinist decision rule" (Frank 1978 (Blumen 1994;Clark et al 2003;Crane 2007;Johnston-Anumonwo 1992). Nach wie vor umstritten sind die Ursachen dafür (Hanson & Johnston 1985;MacDonald 1999): Einige Studien berichten Evidenzen für die household-responsibility-Hypothese (z.…”

“…As Blumen (1994) points out, labour market-based explanations, like the segregation of women into certain types of industries and occupations, complement more domestic explanations, like women's greater responsibility for household tasks, because this means for example that women can work closer to home or work part-time hours. A relevant question that has been posed is whether or not women pay a penalty for commuting, in that they commute farther for lower wages than men; this would occur if women suffer from greater spatial mismatch than men.…”

“…Women have been shown to have shorter commuting distances and times than men (Blumen, 1994;Gordon et al, 1989;McLafferty and Preston, 1997;Turner and Niemeier, 1997). According to Madden (1981), gender differences in household roles are important in influencing women to accept jobs closer to home [see also Johnston-Anumonwo (1992) on the household responsibility hypothesis].…”
