We explore the asymmetries in time spent commuting to and from work, in seven countries, using detailed time use records from the Multinational Time Use Study (MTUS). We focus on the duration, mode of transport, and timing of commuting trips, and we provide evidence of the socio-demographic characteristics related to such asymmetries. We find that commutes to work (usually in the morning) last longer than commutes from work (usually in the afternoon or evening), although there are quantitative differences among countries. The timing of commuting also differs across countries, although commutes to work are more concentrated at certain hours in the morning than commutes from work. Our results may provide a better analysis of public policies, and open questions for future research, tackling the correlation between commuting behaviors and worker well-being, land use and city structure, and extreme commuting, among others. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S32-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2019-108348RA-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by-nc-nd http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 5.899 2021 ECONOMICS 40 / 382 = 0.105 2021 Q1 T1 GEOGRAPHY 7 / 86 = 0.081 2021 Q1 T1 TRANSPORTATION 10 / 37 = 0.27 2021 Q2 T1 1.854 2021 Geography, Planning and Development 2021 Q1 Environmental Science (miscellaneous) 2021 Q1 8.1 2021 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion Molina, José Alberto Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-9437-4606 Velilla, Jorge Universidad de Zaragoza (orcid)0000-0002-0553-6360 4000 415 Universidad de Zaragoza Dpto.
