abstract: 'Weekly working hours and commuting distance can be seen as indicators of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
equality/inequality between spouses. Traditionally, it is women who
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adjust their career more readily to meeting family obligations. In an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
era with a focus on equality between the genders in regard to both
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
education and paid work, it is obvious to think of equality regarding
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working hours as well, and of distance to and from work. In this study
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
we utilized data from the Norwegian Travel Survey of 2009 to examine the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
results of adjustments made in weekly working hours and commuting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distance in families in which both husband and wife are in paid work
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These indicate that the family situation is significant, and that, among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
other things, children in a family does not lead to any reduction in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
men''s working hours or commuting distance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Living in the periphery of large cities is disadvantageous for women who
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
want to work full time, while living within a city tends to be to their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
advantageous in this regard. The results from the analysis of commuting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
distance show that women do not commute as far as men in comparable
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
groups (working hours. family type, education, place of living, income,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
access to a car and occupation) and that the policy of regional
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
enlargement is far from gender neutral. So long as it is women who
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
adjust their labour market participation - both temporal and spatial -
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
an enlargement of the regional/geographical labour market resulting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
potentially in longer commuting distances will primarily favour those
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
who have the possibility to travel irrespectively of family situation,
