Mobility of Older Adults in Mexico City: A Mixed Methods Approach

<p>This dissertation covers the topic of the mobility of older adults in Mexico City using a mixed methods approach. First, I looked at the literature to uncover what is known about elderly mobilities coming from the Global South. Second, I analyzed the 2017 Household Origin Destination Survey to reveal travel behavior patterns and transport mode choice of older adults in Mexico City. Third, I revealed mobility experiences from older adults living in different neighborhoods in Mexico City by conducting twenty two telephone interviews. Lastly, I created joint displays that included both previous results to better understand how the findings from the interviews complement and corroborate the results from the survey. Conclusions included research contributions and limitations, opportunities for future research, and policy recommendations.</p>
