Abstract

This paper analyzes gender differences in work-related travel among Chilean workers through a review of current literature and an analysis of data for 2017 and 2022 using a Tobit model and Poisson regression. Results show that job and household characteristics play a major role in explaining the gendered travel patterns of Chilean workers. Female blue-collar workers exhibit longer travel times and make more work trips with greater dependence on public transport. In addition, the number of children in the household greatly restricts women's mobility. Although women make more trips using public transport, the more children there are in the household, the less women use public transport. This paper discusses some policy implications of the main findings regarding public transport and land-use policies.
