Transportation, gender and social exclusion have increasingly come together in scholarly pursuits and policy agendas in Latin America and the Caribbean. The recognition of the gender dimension of sustainable mobility has opened a space to consider the role of women, especially of those facing poverty and exclusion, in this global agenda. However, research on the link between precarious occupations, social exclusion, and gender, and the role that mobility plays both in enhancing and limiting development opportunities for highly vulnerable workers in the Global South is still limited. Based on Bogotá’s 2015 Mobility Survey, data from an application that matches domestic workers with employers (HogarU) and interviews conducted with domestic workers, this paper investigates the case of Bogotá, Colombia, to describe domestic workers’ daily commutes. More specifically, it focuses on the long duration of their trips, their patterns, their inevitable connection to public transportation, and the financial implications for their restricted family budget. Considering a legal provision that establishes a time-window for switching between public transportation vehicles, the paper also examines its effects on domestic workers’ commutes. By doing so, the paper aims to address the situation not only of the massive group of female domestic workers traversing the city every day, but also of other similarly situated social groups that could find in transportation a path towards greater social inclusion.

波哥大的家庭工人通勤:交通,性别和社会排斥

运输,性别和社会排斥在拉丁美洲和加勒比海地区的学术追求和政策议程中日益融合在一起。对可持续流动的性别层面的认识为在这一全球议程中考虑妇女,特别是那些面临贫困和排斥的妇女的作用开辟了空间。然而,关于不稳定职业,社会排斥和性别之间的联系以及流动性在增加和限制全球南方高度脆弱工人的发展机会中的作用的研究仍然很有限。基于波哥大2015年的流动性调查,来自将家政工人与雇主匹配的应用程序(HogarU)的数据以及与家政工人进行的访谈,本文调查了哥伦比亚波哥大的情况,以描述家政工人的日常通勤情况。更具体地说,它着重于他们的旅行时间长,他们的方式,他们与公共交通的必然联系以及对他们有限的家庭预算的财务影响。考虑到建立了在公共交通工具之间切换的时间窗口的法律规定,本文还研究了其对家庭工人通勤的影响。通过这样做,本文的目的不仅是要解决每天穿越城市的大量女佣工人的情况,而且要解决其他类似情况的社会群体的情况,这些群体在交通中可以找到通往更大的社会包容的道路。考虑到建立了在公共交通工具之间切换的时间窗口的法律规定,本文还研究了其对家庭工人通勤的影响。通过这样做,本文的目的不仅是要解决每天穿越城市的大量女佣工人的情况,而且要解决其他类似情况的社会群体的情况,这些群体在交通中可以找到通往更大的社会包容的道路。考虑到建立了在公共交通工具之间切换的时间窗口的法律规定,本文还研究了其对家庭工人通勤的影响。通过这样做,本文的目的不仅是要解决每天穿越城市的大量女佣工人的情况,而且要解决其他类似情况的社会群体的情况,这些群体在交通中可以找到通往更大的社会包容的道路。
