| dc.description.abstract | The seminal literature of feminist and
critical geographers has proven that women live in
a constrain pattern of space-time that stops her to
discover her opportunities to work and travel. Using
the available data in the Census Public Use
Microdata Sample and Areas, with the tools of
Spatial Science, we set out to visualize the effect of
gender role on mobility to work. The application of
a mixed method empirical approach, to the spatial
entrapment hypothesis in Puerto Rico yielded results
of a correlation between social-economic
characteristics, space and mobility to work. Leading
to the conclusion of gender inequality in the
workplace and in the household.
