“…En cuanto a las características de la movilidad, el tiempo empleado en los viajes al lugar de trabajo ha sido utilizado por algunos autores (Blázquez, Llano & Moral, 2010) como un buen indicador para comprobar la teoría del spatial mismatch (Painter, Liu & Duan, 2007), según la cual la creciente diferenciación entre una residencia localizada en su mayoría en los centros de las grandes urbes, y unos lugares de trabajo que se desplazan continuamente hacia el extrarradio, provoca una situación de desventaja laboral para los extranjeros, resultando en un menor acceso a la ocupación, el consiguiente aumento del paro y, finalmente, un mayor tiempo empleado entre desplazamiento y trabajo entre los ocupados. La única contrapartida a esta situación es la mayor capacidad de adaptación de la población inmigrante, debido a una mayor movilidad residencial.…”

resumen | La reciente llegada de miles de inmigrantes extranjeros ha modificado el mercado laboral de la Región Metropolitana de Barcelona. Entre otros múltiples aspectos, se han observado cambios en las pautas de movilidad habitual, concretamente en los desplazamientos entre el lugar de residencia y el de trabajo. Primero se estudian las características más importantes de esta movilidad para la población inmigrante desde un punto de vista descriptivo, para posteriormente analizar el efecto que tiene sobre ella la distribución territorial, y en particular la concentración residencial. Los resultados indican un mayor tiempo de desplazamiento y una mayor utilización del transporte público por parte de los inmigrantes, junto con una menor predisposición a trabajar fuera del lugar de residencia, que afecta en mayor medida a las mujeres. El efecto de la concentración sobre la movilidad, medida a través de los que cambian de municipio, es significativo, aunque más que la concentración en sí misma, será la localización de esta concentración la que marcará los resultados. palabras clave | migración, movilidad, concentración espacial. abstract | The recent arrival of thousands of foreign immigrants has modified the labor market of the Metropolitan Region of Barcelona. This paper studies immigrant commuting behavior, especially those displacements produced between workplace and residence. Commuting characteristics will first be analyzed from a descriptive perspective, to then focus on the effects of territorial distribution over mobility. Results show that immigrants need more time for their displacements, and a greater intensity in public transport use. At the same time, they tend to work less outside their municipality of residence. If analyzed by gender, these patterns particularly affect women. Additionally, a clear concentration effect is also noticed, reinforced by location: A metropolitan center effect is observed, while peripheries penalize daily mobility.

“…Blazquez et al (2010) and Preston et al (1998) have each examined commuting time as a barrier to work and as a possible indicator of residential segregation and spatial mismatches in skill availability and needs. Qualitative and smallsample studies by Anastario and Schmalzbauer (2008), Bloch (1976), and Münscher 4 (1984) indicate that household responsibilities may hinder women's economic assimilation.…”

It provides new descriptive evidence, using time-diary data from the American Time Use Survey. Although results vary with the country of origin, immigrant men in the U.S. tend to devote more time to market work and sleeping but less time to housework, community activities, and leisure than native men. Immigrant women tend to devote more time to housework, caregiving and sleep but less time to market work, community activities, and leisure than native women.JEL Classification: J22, J61

“…There is a number of papers dealing with the measurement of residential segregation in Spain. For example, Pareja-Eastaway (2009) and García-López (2012) measure segregation in Barcelona, while Blázquez, Llano, and Moral (2010) relate commuting times to segregation (1996)(1997)(1998)(1999)(2000)(2001)(2002)(2003)(2004), and Echazarra (2010) studies the correlates of neighborhood segregation (2001)(2002)(2003)(2004)(2005)(2006) in Madrid. Bosch, Carnero, and Farré (2010) study the existence of ethnic discrimination against immigrants in the rental market.…”
