The study provides useful information to assist the development of (public and private) strategies and actions, especially in the field of a local work-life balance. The project contributes to leveling out inequalities in terms of the situation of women in the labor market, due to the difficulty in reconciling work and family life and personal, with impact on society and the Portuguese economy.
Additionally it proposes an innovative methodology in gender studies and leads to questioning the pattern of the male mobility chain as if it should continue as the standard reference. Based on the movements on the weekdays of a sample of men and women in the labor market, the daily time uses are identified (locally), the travel chains and stops, by setting daily mobility profiles.
Para além disso, propõe uma metodologia inovadora em estudos de género e questiona se o padrão de mobilidade masculino deve continuar a ser a referência padrão. Com base nos movimentos dos dias úteis de uma amostra composta por homens e mulheres ativos, os usos do tempo (através do local), e os encadeamentos das viagens e as paragens são identificados e permitem criar perfis de mobilidade diários.
