'n Ruimtelike en socio-ekonomiese analise van werkritpatrone in Kaapstad (A spatial and socio-economic comparison of journey to work patterns in Cape Town)
The Rationl Locator Hypothesis posits that individuals can, if they choose, maintain approximatively steady journey-to-work travel times by adjusting their home and workplace. This hypothesis was coupled with the observation of long-term stability
in drive alone journey-to-work times in metropolitan Washington. The Twin Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paul were observation from 1990 and 2000. The conclusion is that the co-location hypothesis cannot be confirmed. - (IfL)

This study focuses on one-worker and two-worker households and investigates how telecommuting affects household one-way commute distance and duration. The results show that telecommuting increases the commute distance and duration for both one
-worker households and two-worker households. It is also found that, in two-worker households, the telecommuting status of one worker does not increase the commute distance and duration of the other worker. These findings suggest that telecommuting (two
-worker) households tend to choose locations involving a longer total one-way commute than non-telecommuting households, and this difference is largely due to the longer commute of their telecommuting members.

Undocumented migration flows involve millions throughout Asia with an increasing number of women and girls moving into unregulated works without rights. The study focuses on two sites in Thailand, Chiang Mai and Mae Sot, and highlights the extreme
conditions and often-abusive environment in which domestic workers from Burma have been employed. They are unable to defend their most basic rights as citizens in Burma, as migrant and as domestic workers. Collective work divided in ten chapters : 1

This article uses multilevel models based on official register data covering the total Swedish working population to explore how home–work distance varied among workers and across residential areas between 1990 and 2010. The results indicate growing
variation in home–work distance for workers living in the same residential neighborhoods and that the significance of residential location for the home–work distance decreased throughout the studied period. The results may suggest that there is less scope
