Commuting. A review of "Stress that Doesn't Pay: The Commuting Paradox" by Stutzer and Frey (2008)

Literature Review from the year 2017 in the subject Economics - Other, grade: 1,7, Leuphana Universität Lüneburg, language: English, abstract: Commuting describes the regular travel between residence and workplace. The morning and evening ritual is a time-consuming activity, which is often necessary in order to practice a profession but prevents from doing other more pleasant activities. For 54% of the EU employees it takes up to 30 minutes to commute to their place of work, 30% need 31 to 60 minutes and 16% need even more than one hour for one way, as the European Working Condition Survey recently reported (2015).
