Journey-to-work studies have repeatedly found that women have shorter work trips than do men. We argue here that this finding can be interpreted in terms of the evolving relationship between (1) the gender division of labor in household production and (2) the position of women in the labor market. We analyze changes in home-to-employment distances in Montreal between 1971 and 1981 and find that, although gender differences in these distances vary over time across occupational categories and economic sectors, the overall gender differential is remarkably stable. We emplore variations in women's work-trip distances by occupational category and examine whether women's short work trips are more related to their household workload or to their positions in the Montreal labor market. The analysis suggests that maritual status, a surrogate for household responsibilities, may not be as strong a correlate of home-to-employment distances in 1981 as it was in 1971, whereas factors related to the labor market, such as income and job location, have become more closely correlated with work-trip distances. Finally, our analysis also suggests that the occupational desegregation of women has progressed more rapidly in downtown service industries, those involving the longest commuting distances
