Using data from the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), researchers at UCLA and Rutgers find the gender gap in household-serving travel still exists — women are indeed more likely to take these trips than men. To explain this persistent division in household-serving travel, researchers explore the ATUS data using three perspectives: (1) time availability, (2) microeconomic, and (3) gender socialization. Their findings can help transportation planners and researchers better understand travel patterns within households.
