Abstract

In 1999, Robin Law introduced a groundbreaking framework for exploring the complex impact of gender on daily mobility. The Gendered Daily Mobility Framework (GDMF), as established by Robin Law, provides a structured theoretical lens through which the influences of gender on the domain of daily mobility can be comprehensively examined. At the time, Law not only established a robust theoretical foundation, but also laid the groundwork for subsequent research by posing related research questions that point out the profound impact of gender on mobility. Building on this fundamental work, the present article (a) fills the framework with contemporary empirical evidence from an extensive literature review, and (b) extends Law's GDMF to include gendered Policy and Governance, examining their role in shaping gendered mobility. It highlights persistent gender inequalities in mobility, driven by socio-cultural norms, economic factors and policy decisions, and proposes the integration of gender-sensitive approaches into transport policy and planning.
