A study of how Indians spend their time reveals some debatable results about gender mobility in the country.
- which measures the amount of time people spend doing various activities - to find out more about how gender inequality impacts daily mobility. In particular, Mr Goel looked at a dataset of 170,000 people living in cities and towns, who were a part of the survey.
The study also found that girls were less likely to go out than boys when they were in their adolescence - aged 10 to 19 - and that there was a "slight increase in mobility" when women reached middle age. Mr Goel believes it shows that conservative social norms that restrict women from working outside home, or going out of home at all "start their effect early in childhood".
After reaching working age, more men than women were going out and joining the work force. As people reach the working age of 15, men make the transition from education to work, while this transition happens for a small proportion of women. Only 30% of women who didn't work reported going out of home at least once, compared to 81% of women who were studying or working.
Prof Deshpande believes Indians also might be "translating" the concept of travel differently in their various languages. "I wouldn't, for example, categorise going to school or college as travel," she says.Also, low mobility of women cannot be simply explained by social norms or lack of jobs, many believe.
