VI International Seminar on Contemporary Mobilities

Understanding accessibility to urban employment is a gateway to examine broader issues of urban inequalities across urban regions (Cui et al., 2019; Niedzielski and Boschmann, 2014). Accessibility to various jobs reveals a spectrum of urban issues, such as unequal education, discrimination, segmented labor markets, gender-based job divisions, spatial imbalances, and transport-related social exclusion that translate into income gaps, housing disparities, curtailing the overall prospects for social mobility. Over the years literature on accessibility to urban employment has greatly contributed to our understanding of urban inequalities (Geurs & van Wee, 2004).
