  • Description: For the first time in history, the 2000 round of censuses in Brazil, Mexico & Chile asked citizens a question about the location of their places of work or study. Analysis of census data produced new results on how daily; commutes in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Santiago & Mexico City vary across socioeconomic groups. In Santiago & Mexico City, where the census question better captures daily; commutes, there is an interesting paradox regarding individuals' economic status & their geographic location because the likelihood that one's workplace is located in a different municipality from their residence increases as their socioeconomic status rises. However, the poorest municipalities tend to have higher indices of daily; commuting. This is due to the concentration of employment in the Central Business Districts & wealthy areas, which are usually; located fir from the poorest municipalities, especially in highly; segregated cities. This finding challenges the hypothesis that the Latin American cities of the future will be polycentric. Tables, Graphs, References. Adapted from the source document.
