Description

Introduction A NEW BODY OF LITERATURE--mobility studies--argues that mobility is a ubiquitous, normal, ongoing, and patterned aspect of all human societies. (1) It treats mobility as socially produced, embodied, and mediated by class, gender, and ethnicity. (2) This research suggests that mobility is underpinned by ideological meanings and material realities including issues related to social citizenship, as well as inequalities in access to mobility, in conditions of mobility, and in its consequences, all of which vary across situations, social classes, and genders. (3) Employment-related mobility is a pervasive feature of many occupations. In this research note, we are particularly interested in employment-related mobility in the Canadian context. We define employment-related mobility as situations where workers regularly and repeatedly cross municipal, provincial or national boundaries to get to and from their place of employment (sometimes working in multiple or transient worksites as with construction workers and home care workers), and work involving mobile workplaces such as cruise and cargo ships, planes, trains, trucks, and fishing vessels.
