“…Our model suggests that female respondents' time crunch score is 1.14 times higher than for men, visible minorities' time crunch score is 1.16 times higher than for white Canadians, and immigrants' time crunch score is 1.06 times higher than for Canadian-born respondents. Persons with disabilities face the greatest time crunch, 1.43 times higher than for nondisabled respondents, in line with the well-known mobility burdens and time penalties this group experiences in daily travel (Ralph et al 2022). The impact of other demographic factors on time crunch is consistent between the men-only and women-only models.…”

“…As for socioeconomic factors, our study confirmed the importance of employment status. Previous research has highlighted that cost is a critical concern for people with disabilities who want to travel or take part in a variety of activities [ 51 – 53 ]. Being employed can contribute to a stable income, thus facilitating sports and cultural activity participation.…”

Background Improving people with disabilities’ participation in sports and cultural activities benefits their physical and mental health. However, only a few studies have examined the factors that influence participation systematically. Methods Using the survey data gathered from 4,319 disabled people living in a district in Wuhan, China, this study explored the impacts of sports and cultural activity participation in terms of individual physiological characteristics, socioeconomic factors, and built environmental features. The sports and cultural facility supply and the walkability index of their community environment were calculated to assess built environment features. Binary logistic regression models were also used to investigate the influence of the aforementioned variables. Results There is a significant positive correlation between sports and cultural activity participation and education (OR = 3.44, p < 0.01), employment status (OR = 2.04, p < 0.01), as well as the number of cultural facilities (OR = 1.33, p < 0.01) in the neighborhood area. No significant association was found between the inclination to participate frequently and individual psychological factors. Conclusion Regarding people with disabilities’ participation in sports and cultural activities, socioeconomic and built environment factors are more influential than individual psychological ones. The findings can give ideas for identifying targeted and comprehensive interventions to promote a healthy lifestyle for people with disabilities.

“…All models contain core demographic variables that predict overall trip making or specific trips. These include the traveler's gender (Ravensbergen et al, 2023), race (Hu, 2021), age (Fields et al, 2021), immigration status (Blumenberg, 2009;Blumenberg & Smart, 2010), education level, medical condition or disability Ralph et al, 2022), and having a driver's license. I also include "primary activity" to control for differences in the reasons why people did not work on the diary day, i.e.…”

The impact of night and evening shift work on social exclusion, family travel, and mobilities of care

Night and evening shift workers play critical roles in the modern economy, yet the mobility implications of working at these times is understudied. Shift workers’ schedules are mis-aligned with the schedules of their families and most of society, complicating their contribution to household-serving travel and their participation in social activities. This study models the effects of working nights and evenings on household-serving and social trips, including social trips with other householders. I apply binary logistic and Poisson regression with block bootstrapping to a large household travel survey to test for effects. Night and evening shift workers are less likely to make a trip for recreation, visiting others, or eating out, on days that they work. People working evening shifts are also less likely to make a trip for community or religious purposes. Evening shift workers are also less likely to conduct household-serving trips on days that they work, and this effect is amplified for women with regards to errands and shopping. When people work impacts what activities they can participate in and whether they participate in some social activities with other householders. These impacts hold negative implications for the mental health and wellbeing of shift workers.
