Understanding the productivity effects of worker commuting burdens is essential for appraisals of urban planning and investment strategies designed to improve urban productivity. However, the extant urban planning literature lacks systematic analysis of the influence of commuting costs on labour mobility, employment engagement, and productivity. This paper provides the first ever detailed analysis of mobility and commuting burdens for workers in a range of industries and occupational groups in Melbourne, Australia. Linking commuting burdens and measures of employment status in urban areas, this paper finds that the labour force in areas experiencing high commuting burdens exhibit lower levels of engagement with job markets. This research further reveals important variations in such relationships across diverse industry and occupation groups. The results provide urban policy makers with better information about urban transport and employment patterns, thus enabling them to investigate alternative approaches to investing in housing and transport infrastructure to reduce worker commuting burdens and improve economic performance.

澳大利亚城市的城市结构,通勤负担和劳动力就业状况

了解工人上下班负担的生产力影响对于评估旨在提高城市生产力的城市规划和投资策略至关重要。但是,现有的城市规划文献缺乏对通勤成本对劳动力流动性,就业参与度和生产率的影响的系统分析。本文提供了澳大利亚墨尔本许多行业和职业群体中工人流动性和通勤负担的首次详细分析。将通勤负担和城市地区的就业状况联系起来,本文发现通勤负担高的地区的劳动力参与就业市场的水平较低。这项研究进一步揭示了跨不同行业和职业群体的这种关系的重要变化。
