Do older workers, including those that work beyond age 65, have different commuting patterns than their younger counterparts? With a focus on older working adults, including those that continue to work beyond age 65, this paper examines the relationship between migration, residential location, and commute distance within Toronto’s commuter shed. The study utilizes data from the master file of the 2016 Canadian Census, allowing migrants to be disaggregated by duration of residence. Results indicate that living in rural areas and being a recent migrant are significantly associated with longer commutes. Furthermore, findings demonstrate that the commute distance of very recent migrants (those who migrated in the year immediately prior to the census) and individuals who moved to rural areas have the longest commute distances. As residential duration increases, commute distance decreases. Older workers have similar commuting behaviors as younger workers, although older workers who recently migrated have some of the longest commute distances as well.

年长的工人，包括那些工作超过 65 岁的工人，是否有与年轻同行不同的通勤模式？本文重点关注年长的在职成年人，包括那些在 65 岁以后继续工作的人，本文研究了多伦多通勤棚内移民、居住地点和通勤距离之间的关系。该研究利用了 2016 年加拿大人口普查主文件中的数据，允许按居住时间对移民进行分类。结果表明，生活在农村地区和新近移民与更长的通勤时间显着相关。此外，调查结果表明，最近的移民（那些在人口普查前一年迁移的人）和搬到农村地区的个人的通勤距离最长。随着居住时间的增加，通勤距离会缩短。年长工人的通勤行为与年轻工人相似，尽管最近迁移的年长工人也有一些最长的通勤距离。
