Gender Series Volume III: Gender patterns in Transport, 2013

Statistics South Africa has released a new report, Gender Series Volume III: Gender patterns in Transport, 2013. "The purpose of this report is to provide analysis relating to gender and transport using secondary data from Stats SA’s National Household Travel Survey (NHTS) and the Community Survey of 2016. Chapter 1 is introductory and briefly discusses transport in relation to gender and theory. This chapter also seeks to establish the rationale for producing the report. The rest of the report employs descriptive analysis to provide male and female differences in travel patterns as well as in modes used to travel for the years 2013 and 2016. Analyses in this report mainly focused on three broad areas. General transport patterns and establishing transport patterns in education, which are discussed in chapters 2 and 3 respectively, while transport, work and gender are covered in chapter 4. Chapter 5 concludes the report by providing a summary of key findings and recommendations. The present report titled “Gender Series III” lays the foundation for a series of future reports within the theme of gender and transport. The data published with each report released from this series aims to move away from the narrow confines of transport-related studies by highlighting that gender has a significant impact on transport and travel patterns."
