There and Back Again: How Labour Mobility Impacts Community Development in Source Communities
Across Canada, mobile workers are involved in a variety of commute patterns,ranging from short, daily periods of travel by car, to longer commutes lasting an hour or more each way. Increased emphasis on labour mobility within the social sciences over the past two decades has led to new understanding...
