La grande mobilité géographique domicile-travail : l’inscription spatiale des inégalités entre travailleurs

Abstract

As the need for a greater geographical employee mobility has been turned into an injunction, the lack of knowledge on long-distance home-work employee mobilities leads to simplistic conceptions of mobility as a work-related choice. This article pleads for getting over the simplistic conceptions of mobility as an unambiguous resource for workers to use. Based on the 2015 French Population Census, this article proposes an operative definition of long-distance home-work mobilities allowing to identify almost 500 000 long-distance domestic commuters in Metropolitan France. These mobilities are to be understood not only as work-related choices but also as social and spatial arbitrations. Those arbitrations rely on the specific spatial arrangements of mobilities which the article elucidates. Long-distance home-work employee mobilities thus reproduce socioprofessional segmentations on which social inequalities are grounded and stress the importance of gender-related inequalities.
