This paper presents the results of an analysis on activity-travel behaviour of non-workers from Bangalore city in India. Using a primary activity-travel survey data, this study models the out-of-home activity participation behaviour of non-workers. Travel behaviour is analysed in the context of stop generation (for maintenance and discretionary activities). The core objective of this analysis is to identity the socio-demographic attributes affecting the activity participation of individuals. The analysis results corroborates earlier findings on factors affecting on non-workers‟ travel behaviour. The study also underscores the need for including in-home activity participation characteristics in travel demand models.
