NSO survey shows fewer women commute to work than men
In short
An NSO survey found that 41.9% of women workers commute 1 km or more for work, compared with 61.9% of men. The gap was widest in rural India.
This matters because it shows women are less likely to travel farther for work. The reporting does not say why this happens or give the missing spending figure.
What the reporting says
An NSO survey reported that 41.9% of women workers commute 1 km or more for work, compared with 61.9% of men, with the widest gender gap in rural India. The source also says women spend much less than men, but no spending figure is provided in the available reporting. The immediate implication is a clear gender gap in commuting patterns, while the cause is not stated.
