Longitudinal associations between bicycling and having dependent children, in middle-aged men and women

“…Broader measures will be needed to address the social processes and institutional structures that contribute to gendered inequalities in daily mobility that are reflected in bicycling ( Shaw et al, 2020 , Sersli et al, 2020 , Craig and van Tienoven, 2019 ). For example, policies enabling greater temporal flexibility in work, onsite daycare, or initiatives to share responsibility for children’s travel would ease the temporal demands of combining childcare and paid work ( Thorhauge et al, 2020 ). These policies would support women, single parents, and families more generally.…”

The impact of COVID-19 on the ride-sharing industry and its recovery: Causal evidence from China

“…In other words, average trip distance is largely determined by the demand side and can reflect the structural change in passengers' perceived mobility needs (i.e., shorter or longer trips). Previous studies show that commuters' perceived mobility needs are sensitive to many factors, such as the complexity of their daily activity patterns (Thorhauge et al, 2020); we expect that the pandemic may have a pronounced impact on commuters' mobility needs as well. At the same time, average trip distance can affect drivers' earnings in that long-distance trips can help drivers reduce idle time and may eventually increase their shift earnings.…”

What role does free-floating car sharing play for changes in car ownership? Evidence from longitudinal survey data and population segments in Copenhagen

“…Two additional items on car dependency were included to examine how people's perceptions regarding the need to own a private car changed during membership. Items on perceived mobility necessities (PMN) were included to assess respondents' perceptions of mobility-related consequences of their personal living circumstances, which have been identified as a barrier to car use reduction (Haustein and Hunecke 2007;Thorhauge et al 2020).…”
