Scholars have highlighted drastic reductions in daily mobility during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. But what happened when restrictions were relaxed though risk remained ubiquitous? How did patterns of mobility change and how were they structured by socioeconomic resources and social roles? We address these questions using a cross-sectional representative sample (n = 2942) of the population of Andalusia, Spain, after a month and a half of severe lockdown in 2020. We find that older people were the least mobile group and that people living with children and in extended households were less likely to move to take care of others, unlike before the pandemic. Men were more likely to carry out daily mobilities for which women had been traditionally responsible, such as care mobilities. Women were also more likely to be immobile and less likely to commute. Finally, manual and nonqualified workers were more likely to commute, but they were just as likely as any other group to carry out other types of mobility. These results highlight the social character of mobility in a unique context. We emphasize the need to disaggregate daily mobility based on different purposes as well analysing how these are practised by different sociodemographic groups if we want to provide rigorous descriptions of a core component of individuals’ daily life.

独特的时代，不平等的流动性：COVID-19 大流行缓和期间的日常流动性

学者们强调，在 COVID-19 大流行封锁的早期阶段，日常流动性急剧减少。但是，当限制放松但风险仍然无处不在时会发生什么？流动模式是如何变化的？它们是如何由社会经济资源和社会角色构成的？我们使用横截面代表性样本来解决这些问题（n = 2942）的西班牙安达卢西亚人口，经过 2020 年一个半月的严格封锁。我们发现，老年人是流动性最差的群体，而有孩子的人和大家庭的人搬家的可能性较小与大流行之前不同，照顾他人。男性更有可能承担传统上由女性负责的日常活动，例如护理活动。女性也更有可能不活动且不太可能通勤。最后，体力劳动者和不合格的工人更有可能通勤，但他们与任何其他群体一样有可能进行其他类型的流动。这些结果凸显了独特背景下流动性的社会特征。
