However, research on commuting differences within couples is limited. This study examines gender gaps in commuting times and mode choices among dual-earner couples in Spain, Italy, South Korea, and the UK. Using Ordinary Least Squares regressions, we find that the presence of children significantly increases gender gaps in commuting times in Italy and the UK, supporting the household responsibility hypothesis. Conversely, no significant link between children and gender gaps is observed in Spain and Korea. Additionally, children’s presence affects commuting mode choices in Italy across all modes, and in Korea for public transit only, with Italian women showing the most changes in commuting mode when children are present. info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/DGA/S32-20R info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/PID2019-108348RA-I00 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/deed.es 2.2 2024 ECONOMICS 189 / 620 = 0.305 2024 Q2 T1 1.395 2024 Social Sciences (miscellaneous) 2024 Q1 Economics and Econometrics 2024 Q1 8.7 2024 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Gimenez-Nadal, J.
