Longer distance commuting as a substitute for migration in Britain: a review of trends, issues and implications

Longer distance commuting as a substitute for migration in Britain: a review of trends, issues and implications

A E Green et al. Int J Popul Geogr. 1999 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

"Drawing on analyses of commuting data from secondary sources as well as on selected results from a research project on long-distance commuting in Britain, this article investigates the extent to which, and why, households may choose to substitute longer distance commuting for migration. Reasons for long-distance weekly commuting, and associated advantages and disadvantages from individual, household and employer perspectives, are outlined. The evidence points to increasing complexity in home and working lives, with important implications for housing, transport and human resource management policies, as well as for family life."
