Mobile Europe

High Mobility, Work and Personal Life

Herausgegeben: Viry, Gil; Kaufmann, Vincent

Beschreibung

Travelling intensively to and for work helps but also challenges people to find ways of balancing work and personal life. Drawing on a large European longitudinal study, Mobile Europe explores the diversity and ambivalence of mobility situations and the implications for family and career development.

Rezensionen

"The various quantitative and qualitative methods - including their limitations - are outlined in detail in a separate chapter on the overall methodological framework. Indeed, readers may find it surprising how successfully data from a two-wave panel survey, life-story interviews and photo elicitation exercises complement each other both across and within chapters. This coherence is what gives the volume its main strength and argumentative authority. ... the book evidences that thorough empirical research on mobility practices is both desirable and possible." (Chris Moreh, JCMS Journal of Common Market Studies, Vol. 54 (6), 2016)
