Car use in the leisure lives of adolescents. Does household structure matter?

Sammendrag

Travel is becoming an increasingly essential part of adolescents׳ leisure. As a large part of organized leisure activities takes place beyond the local neighborhood, access to transport becomes a prerequisite for participation. This article investigates transport mode choices in the leisure lives of Norwegian adolescents and the potential influence of household structures. The study finds that car use is less prominent in the leisure activities of adolescents from single-parent households, and that living in households with unemployed parents reduces the probability of leisure travels by car.
