“…For example, there are strong gender differences in discussing and showcasing working-class identity in the workplace, which is a driving factor for Friedman S's exploration, leading to this "dual disadvantage" [6]. Based on German family groups, Wachter I aimed to expand the scope of explanation and examine gender differences in work-related high mobility among employees with and without children, as well as single individuals [7]. De Bellaigue C has developed a historically informed measure of educational achievement -the Education Queue Code.…”

This article explores the concept of gender identity mobility and its application in feminist theory and practice. Through the analysis of historical and contemporary literature, the article reveals how the non-fixed nature of gender identity challenges traditional gender roles and identity recognition. This study uses qualitative analysis methods and relies on multiple case studies to explore the impact of gender mobility on women's identity politics. The experimental results indicate that accepting and understanding gender identity mobility can promote a more equitable and inclusive social structure. This study explored the effects of gender mobility on mental health, social adaptability, workplace environment adaptation, educational pathways, and career choices through four experiments. In the psychological health impact study experiment, the mean of the high gender mobility group on the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI) was 24, significantly higher than the mean of the low mobility group of 16. On the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), the mean of the high group was 22 and the low group was 14. In the study of social adaptability experiments, it was observed that the group with high gender mobility had an average score of 75 in terms of social adaptation. In the workplace adaptation experiment, the mean of the high mobility group was 80, while the group with lower gender mobility scored 70. In the final experiment exploring education and career choices, groups with high gender mobility exhibited a wider range of diversity. From the above data, it can be seen that high gender mobility will have a greater impact on individual performance in multiple areas of life.

“…Thus, men's mobility tends to prioritize work trips, while women travel more for care and household maintenance tasks (Boarnet & Hsu, 2015; Kaufmann & Widmer, 2006; Miralles‐Guasch et al, 2016; Viry et al, 2015). The presence of children in the household is one of the principal drivers of this inequality (Havet et al, 2021; McQuaid & Chen, 2012; Wachter & Holz‐Rau, 2021). Other factors like occupational segregation, internalized gendered roles (Torrado et al, 2018), economic disparities within the household composition, and access to private means of transportation (Wachter & Holz‐Rau, 2021) are also correlated with mobility inequalities between men and women.…”

Scholars have highlighted drastic reductions in daily mobility during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. But what happened when restrictions were relaxed though risk remained ubiquitous? How did patterns of mobility change and how were they structured by socioeconomic resources and social roles? We address these questions using a cross-sectional representative sample (n = 2942) of the population of Andalusia, Spain, after a month and a half of severe lockdown in 2020.We find that older people were the least mobile group and that people living with children and in extended households were less likely to move to take care of others, unlike before the pandemic. Men were more likely to carry out daily mobilities for which women had been traditionally responsible, such as care mobilities. Women were also more likely to be immobile and less likely to commute. Finally, manual and nonqualified workers were more likely to commute, but they were just as likely as any other group to carry out other types of mobility. These results highlight the social character of mobility in a unique context. We emphasize the need to disaggregate daily mobility based on different purposes as well analysing how these are practised by different sociodemographic groups if we want to provide rigorous descriptions of a core component of individuals' daily life.
