Abstract

This study aims to explain the effect of socio-demographic variables i.e. sex, wage, employment status, and marital status on commuting in Jabodetabek. The result of binary logistic regression using Sakernas 2012 shows that male are more likely to commute than female. Male in formal sector have the highest probability to commute while by marital status, unmarried male have the highest probability to commute. The level of wage is positively related with the probability to commute although at certain level of wage, an increase in wage increases probability to commute among male lower than probability to commute among female.

Studi ini bertujuan untuk melihat pengaruh variabel sosio-demografis yaitu jenis kelamin, upah, status kerja, dan status kawin terhadap peluang mobilitas ulang-alik di Jabodetabek. Hasil regresi logit biner menggunakan data Sakernas 2012 menunjukkan bahwa laki-laki lebih cenderung untuk ulang-alik diban- dingkan dengan perempuan. Peluang ulang-alik paling tinggi menurut status kerja adalah pada pekerja laki-laki di sektor formal dan menurut status kawin adalah pada pekerja laki-laki belum kawin. Ditemukan hubungan positif antara kenaikan tingkat upah dengan ulang-alik walaupun pada tingkat tertentu, kenaikan peluang ulang-alik untuk laki-laki akibat kenaikan tingkat upah lebih kecil dibandingkan kenaikan peluang ulang-alik untuk perempuan.
