abstract: 'India has one of the highest levels of gender inequality in the world.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Work participation rate of women is among the lowest, with a wide gender
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gap. There are seclusion norms that restrict the mobility of women
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
outside the home. However, transport literature in India has not
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
explored the impact of this lack of autonomy on gender differences in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
travel demand. I use 2019 population-representative nationwide time-use
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
survey of India. The dataset reported both travel and non-travel
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
activities for 30-minute episodes over a 24-hour period. For urban
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
residents, I analysed gender differences in trip rates and mobility
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rates, where the latter is defined as the per-centage going out of home
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
at least once on the reporting day. I developed gender-stratified
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
logistic regression models at the individual level with mobility as a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
binary outcome. It was found that 53\% of the females did not report
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
going out of the home compared to only 14\% of males. The mobility of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
females reduces steeply from adolescence to young adulthood and then
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
remains largely stable at a low level before reducing further for older
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adults. No such variation is observed among males, except their mobility
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
is also reduced among older adults. There is a clear dichotomy with
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
women mostly participating in in-house activities while men mostly
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
involved in out-of-home activities. Adolescence or adulthood, marriage,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
living with one or more household members, having an infant in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
house, lower income, and less education are associated with a lower
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
likelihood of female mobility. The results highlight the need for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
gender-stratified analysis for transportation research, and a need for
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
greater engagement across the disciplines of development economics,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
social sciences, and transport planning.'
