Commute Time Decisions in Dual-Worker Households

Abstract

This study empirically examines the choice of residence in reference to differences in income and evaluates how socioeconomic characteristics affect the commute time of dual-worker couples. This study used data from the 2018 National Labor Force Survey (Sakernas). The sample used in this study was workers who commuted to the place of employment and who were married household heads and their partners. The relationship was husband and wife living in in the same household. The multinomial logistic regression model was used to analyze and indicate that commuting travel differences in dual-worker households are significantly affected by differences in income, housing rental prices, differences in working hours, differences in employment status, differences in education, and location of residence.
