Gender-Sensitive Mobility Socialisation. Understanding Mode Choice of Children and Adolescents from a Gender Perspective
... In Germany, boys are gender-typically encouraged to engage in energetic outdoor activities and enjoy ample freedom in playgrounds and sports fields. Conversely, girls are often encouraged to engage in calmer, indoor activities deemed safer and more appropriate, a practice that subtly enforces certain behavioural norms (Ahrend, 2002;Kawgan-Kagan et al., 2019). ...
Robin Law introduced a groundbreaking framework for exploring the complex impact of gender on daily mobility. The Gendered Daily Mobility Framework (GDMF), as established by Robin Law, provides a structured theoretical lens through which the influences of gender on the domain of daily mobility can be comprehensively examined. At the time, Law not only established a robust theoretical foundation, but also laid the groundwork for subsequent research by posing related research questions that point out the profound impact of gender on mobility. Building on this fundamental work, the present article (a) fills the framework with contemporary empirical evidence from an extensive literature review, and (b) extends Law's GDMF to include gendered Policy and Governance, examining their role in shaping gendered mobility. It highlights persistent gender inequalities in mobility, driven by socio-cultural norms, economic factors and policy decisions, and proposes the integration of gender-sensitive approaches into transport policy and planning.
