| Summary: | This study explores the range of
constraints to women’s mobility and access to economic
opportunities in six low-income areas of urban Latin America
through the lens of agency. The study demonstrates that,
apart from transport-related deficiencies, several factors
at the community, household, and individual levels shape
women’s capacity to make and act upon decisions about their
mobility. The study consists of five sections in addition to
this introduction. Section two: authors discuss key findings
from the literature on women’s mobility and how they inform
the study design; section three: authors briefly present the
methodology; section four: authors describe the factors
which shape women’s Agency in Mobility and seek to show how
these shape women’s decisions regarding mobility and work;
sections five and six: authors draw policy recommendations
and conclusions. |
