Abstract

In recent years, human mobility research has discovered universal patterns capable of describing how people move. These regularities have been shown to partly depend on individual and environmental characteristics (e.g., gender, rural/urban, and country). In this work, we show that life-course events, such as job loss, can disrupt individual mobility patterns. Adversely affecting individuals’ well-being and potentially increasing the risk of social and economic inequalities, we show that job loss drives a significant change in the exploratory behavior of individuals with changes that intensify over time since the job loss. Our findings shed light on the dynamics of employment-related behavior at scale, providing a deeper understanding of key components in human mobility regularities. These drivers can facilitate targeted social interventions to support the most vulnerable populations.

失业破坏了个人的流动性和他们的探索模式

近年来，人类流动性研究发现了能够描述人们如何移动的通用模式。这些规律部分取决于个人和环境特征（例如，性别、农村/城市和国家）。在这项工作中，我们表明，生命过程中的事件，如失业，可以破坏个人的流动模式。失业会对个人的福祉产生不利影响，并可能增加社会和经济不平等的风险，我们表明，失业会导致个人探索行为的重大变化，这种变化会随着失业后的时间而加剧。我们的研究结果揭示了大规模就业相关行为的动态，为人类流动规律的关键组成部分提供了更深入的理解。这些驱动因素可以促进有针对性的社会干预，以支持最弱势群体。

期刊介绍： Science has many big remaining questions. To address them, we will need to work collaboratively and across disciplines. The goal of iScience is to help fuel that type of interdisciplinary thinking. iScience is a new open-access journal from Cell Press that provides a platform for original research in the life, physical, and earth sciences. The primary criterion for publication in iScience is a significant contribution to a relevant field combined with robust results and underlying methodology. The advances appearing in iScience include both fundamental and applied investigations across this interdisciplinary range of topic areas. To support transparency in scientific investigation, we are happy to consider replication studies and papers that describe negative results. We know you want your work to be published quickly and to be widely visible within your community and beyond. With the strong international reputation of Cell Press behind it, publication in iScience will help your work garner the attention and recognition it merits. Like all Cell Press journals, iScience prioritizes rapid publication. Our editorial team pays special attention to high-quality author service and to efficient, clear-cut decisions based on the information available within the manuscript. iScience taps into the expertise across Cell Press journals and selected partners to inform our editorial decisions and help publish your science in a timely and seamless way.
