No Bicycle, No Bus, No Job: The Making of Workers’ Mobility in the Netherlands, 1920-1990

Patrick Bek - Personal Name;

This book examines the historical development of workers’ mobility and access to employment in the Netherlands between 1920 and 1990. It explores how transportation systems, government policies, industrial employers, and social inequalities influenced workers’ ability to commute to their workplaces. The book analyzes the changing roles of bicycles, buses, mopeds, and company transportation in supporting daily mobility, particularly among blue-collar, rural, and migrant workers. It also discusses the challenges associated with transportation costs, inadequate public transport services, workplace accessibility, and the relationship between residential locations and employment opportunities. Through historical case studies, the author investigates how economic crises, wartime shortages, postwar industrialization, and deindustrialization shaped workers’ mobility options. Furthermore, the book highlights how government regulations and employer practices influenced the responsibility for commuting and access to employment. By examining the relationship between transportation, labor markets, and social inequality, the book demonstrates that access to affordable and reliable mobility is an important factor in securing employment and preventing social exclusion. It provides valuable insights for researchers, policymakers, historians, and transportation professionals interested in labor history, mobility studies, transport policy, and social justice.
