ABSTRACT
The changing nature of employment has increasingly important consequences for transport. This chapter considers some of these changes, in particular those linked to predominantly labour demand factors (for example, the growth of the service sector and the ‘so-called’ knowledge economy which alters the types and characteristics of jobs and employment location), labour supply factors (such as the changing characteristics and demographics of the labour force), and technology. These are interconnected and influence, and are influenced by, transport.
