Title:

Evolution of Car Usage by Women in France Since the 1970s

Accession Number:

Record Type:

Abstract:

Between 1966 and 2007, five French National Travel Surveys (FNTS) were conducted, thus providing five snapshots of mobility for French households. The four most recent surveys, from 1973 to 2007, have been restored and standardized, thus permitting detailed analyses of this period. Moreover, the definitions and principles of these surveys have not been modified since the outset, which facilitates measurement of structural changes. The authors analysed the data with a focus on women. The authors' analyses of this data highlight the relationship between paid employment, car ownership, and car usage for women living in France. Based on survey data, the authors illustrate the changes in driving license holders that have occurred for the women in France since the nineteen-seventies. The authors' results recognize thus past actions and draw directions for gendered transport policies.
