This study analyzes gender differences in travel patterns for the Metropolitan Area of Montevideo, Uruguay. By applying multilevel regression models, it provides estimates of the impact of individual and contextual factors on travel behavior. The paper's findings lend support to the household responsibility hypothesis, which claims that women's travel patterns are affected by the type of household in which they live and the consequent responsibilities or roles they assume. Furthermore, gender differences in travel patterns are reinforced across census tracts. The results indicate that policy makers need to consider gender differences when seeking to enhance urban planning decisions.

这项研究分析了乌拉圭蒙得维的亚大都市地区出行方式的性别差异。通过应用多级回归模型，它可以估算出个人和背景因素对旅行行为的影响。该论文的发现为家庭责任假说提供了支持，该假说声称妇女的出行方式受她们所居住的家庭类型及其所承担的责任或作用的影响。此外，跨人口普查区域在旅行方式上的性别差异得到了加强。结果表明，决策者在寻求加强城市规划决策时需要考虑性别差异。
