Mobility in different generations of older persons

The changes of activity-travel participation across gender, life-cycle, and generations in Sweden over 30 years

“…The difference, however, becomes insignificant for younger generations. This demonstrates the success of the policy that facilitates partnered women's participation in the labour market which was implemented in the mid-1970s (Hjorthol et al 2010;Frändberg and Vilhelmson 2011). However, single young adult women do not have significantly different work durations compared to single young adult men for all observed generations.…”

“…These trends are unlikely to be the same for women and men of other generations. As mentioned earlier, in the literature review section, the presence of children, being single or partnered, or getting older, would have different meanings for women than for men (Hjorthol et al 2010;Zhang 2017). Thus, women, at different life-cycle stages face different resources and constraints and may respond differently compared to men (Kwan 1999;Hjorthol 2003;Uteng 2012).…”

“…We add to this literature in three dimensions: First, earlier studies only focused on travel behaviour indicators descriptively (e.g. Hjorthol et al 2010;Kuhnimhof et al 2011;Liu et al 2014Liu et al , 2015, whereas we model the interaction between a number of them. Second, earlier studies used a complex behaviour model (e.g.…”

Detangling the impacts of age, residential locations and household lifecycle in car usage and ownership in the Osaka metropolitan area, Japan

“…How travel and activity patterns are developing during the life course has been previously examined (Hjorthol et al, 2010). The interaction between individual lifecycle, companion cohort, and aggregate changes over time has recently been studied by Scheiner and Holz-Rau (2013b).…”

Mode Decisions and Context Change – What About the Attitudes? A Conceptual Framework

“…Private key events are, among others, the birth of a child (Lanzendorf, 2010), starting or ending a relationship, marriage, divorce and death of the partner or, more simply, changes in the number of household members (Beige & Axhausen, 2012;Dargay & Hanly, 2004;Scheiner & Holz-Rau, 2013a). Less frequently investigated is the case of job-related key events such as ending apprenticeship or education and starting work life (Fuji & Ga¨rling, 2003), changing jobs (Beige & Axhausen, 2012;Prillwitz, & Lanzendorf, 2006) or retirement (Evandrou, Falkingham, & Green, 2010;Hjorthol, Levin, & Sire´n, 2010). Second, longterm mobility decisions are key events such as residential relocations (Bamberg, 2006;de Groot et al, 2011;Kley, 2011;Scheiner & Holz-Rau, 2013b) and changes in mobility tools (Beige & Axhausen, 2008Harms, 2003;Prillwitz & Lanzendorf, 2006;Scheiner & Holz-Rau, 2013a).…”
