Table 1 Examples of abundance of certan motif types in a mobility network

Examples of abundance

Many nodes of the network are not connected to each other. The structure means there is a lack of economic and social mobility, and thus the nodes are more vulnerable to economic or social disturbances.

The destination node in this motif is socially and economically accommodating other nodes.

It allows for knowledge sharing between all the nodes in the motif. The origin nodes are highly dependent on the destination node.

There is a richness of mobility happening between different parts of the network. The connectivity allows social and economic upward mobility. The structure can also be resilient to economic or social disturbances.
