บทคัดย่อ

Background and Aim: This study discusses the factors affecting the employment of migrant workers in Linyi City, Shandong Province. At present, the new generation of migrant workers is gradually entering the peak of employment, but their employment situation in the city is not optimistic, and the perception of career choice is an important factor in the career choices made by migrant workers. It has a guiding effect on people's employment behavior, so it is of great significance to study the influencing factors of migrant workers' employment.

This study tries to analyze the influence of farmers' feelings on the new generation of migrant workers' view of employment. Finally, it puts forward some relevant suggestions in view of the reality.

Materials and Methods: This paper collected the data of the sampled villages by means of a questionnaire survey and field visit. The scope of this questionnaire survey included the residents who had lived in the village from 1985 to 2004. The labor force in this survey refers to people aged 16-60 who are working or looking for a job, excluding students who are attending school. SPSS 22.0 was used to perform binary logistic regression analysis on the survey data.

Results: (1) Regarding farmers' local employment willingness, the survey data show that most farmers choose to work outside their hometowns, while only a small portion prefer to stay and work locally. (2)   Education level and household annual income have a significant positive impact on local employment willingness. Family support is a crucial factor determining whether migrant workers are willing to choose local employment.

Conclusion: This study provides empirical evidence that personal factors and external factors have a significant impact on migrant workers' job selection. However, establishing a correct view of job selection and optimizing external welfare are important conditions to promote migrant workers' employment.
