Abstract

This meta-analysis summarizes the research findings of many local and international experts and constructs a comprehensive employment quality evaluation system based on factors including monthly salary, working hours, job stability, career reputation, social security, labor rights, development prospective, worker satisfaction and more. Binary Logistic Regression was used to analyze and discuss new generation migrant workers’ settlement intention, both as a whole and for different genders. Analysis suggests there are significant gender differences when it comes to settlement intention. Education level, social circle, skill development, weekly working hours and colleague relationship all have profound impact on new generation female migrant workers’ settlement intention. On the other hand, only career type and overall job satisfaction show significant influence over male migrant workers’ decision. It has to be noted that overall job satisfaction is an integrative indicator. Therefore, this paper suggests that in order to study the relationship between employment and settlement intention, one should start from analyzing comprehensive employment quality indicators with special attention paid to gender differences.
