Mobility of urban working women in India: study of Jalandhar in north India
The Indian census of 2011 collected for the first time since its inception, sex disaggregated figures on the journey to work along two dimensions- trip lengths and modes of transport. This data was analyzed as part of a doctoral thesis on the mobility of urban working women in smaller cities of Indi...

Le recensement indien de 2011 a collecté, pour la première fois depuis sa création, des chiffres ventilés par sexe sur le trajet vers le travail selon deux dimensions : la durée des trajets et les modes de transport. Ces données ont été analysées dans le cadre d'une thèse de doctorat sur la mobilité des femmes qui travaillent en milieu urbain dans les petites villes de l'Inde, achevée en mai 2019. L'objectif de cet article est de présenter les données du recensement et d'éclairer ces chiffres avec les expériences vécues des femmes qui travaillent sur leur voyage au travail, recueilli grâce à la recherche primaire dans l'une des villes étudiées - Jalandhar dans la province du Punjab. Cette approche permet d’humaniser les données quantitatives et de montrer comment le manque de participation de l’État à la résolution des problèmes de transport urbain affecte la vie quotidienne des femmes. L'importance de l'étude réside également dans le fait que la mobilité des femmes urbaines dans les pays d'Asie du Sud est peu comprise. Des tentatives comme celle-ci peuvent ouvrir des voies pour penser selon le genre tout en formulant des politiques. |

The Indian census of 2011 collected for the first time since its inception, sex disaggregated figures on the journey to work along two dimensions- trip lengths and modes of transport. This data was analyzed as part of a doctoral thesis on the mobility of urban working women in smaller cities of India, completed in May 2019. The aim of this paper is to present the census data and illuminate these figures with lived experiences of working women on their journey to work, gathered through primary research in one of the cities studied- Jalandhar in the northern state of Punjab. This approach serves to humanize quantitative data and show how lack of state involvement in solving urban transport problems affects women’s daily lives. The importance of the study also lies in the fact that mobility of urban women in south Asian countries, is little understood. Attempts such as this one may open up pathways to think along gender lines while formulating policies. |
