Pages 259-273 | Published online: 08 May 2007
 

Outline

This paper describes the context for an interest in travel‐to‐work patterns by those concerned with labour market analysis and local economic development. The scope, coverage and content of Census of Population and local survey data on travel‐to‐work patterns are reviewed, and their strengths and weaknesses compared. Examples of the types of information which can be extracted from various sources are used to illustrate similarities and variations in travel‐to‐work patterns by population subgroup, and analyses on travel‐to‐work times and the geographical extent of job search areas derived from local labour force surveys are presented.
