City integration of migrant workers is the critical matter and practical problem for rural labour transfer in our country, which will determine the success of modernization construction in China. The 30 years development of migrant workers tells us that it is far from enough for the migrant workers who characterized by the low level of human capital to integrate into the city by their own efforts, instead corresponding policies are the important factor will influence the city integration of migrant workers. Less policy limitation for the migrant workers, they will be more willing to move into the city; on the contrary, more limitation means more obstacles for migrant workers integrate into the city. These two factors, institution support and migrant workers’own effort, are indispensable in the process of city integration. Nowadays, the new generation of migrant workers gradually grows as the basic force of the migrant workers. The general character of their tendency of city integration and appeal of civil rights must be responded by institutional level. In present predicament of city integration of migrant workers, the pressure of institutional exclusion from the city and the anxiety for the uncertainty in the future are the main factors hinder the process of city integration of migrant workers. Will and how the urban-rural segment character in social security influences the city integration of new generation of migrant workers? That is the problem this paper tries to resolve.Guiding by the theory of Economy, Sociology, Psychology and Management, this paper applies literature research, and makes use of questionnaire, interview, case analysis and the method of comparative study. Taking Fuzhou as an example, this research insists on the combination of normative analysis and positive analysis, on the combination of quantitative research and qualitative research, to make a positive analysis of the social security factor which will influence the city integration of new generation of migrant workers. The main content and conclusion of the paper are as following:Firstly, this research applying literature research to analyze and induce the document about city integration from scholars at home and abroad. At the same time, by analyzing the changing character of migrant workers’ appeal of rights and present situation of city integration of new generation of migrant workers, Chapter Two and Chapter Three in this paper laid the foundation for the analysis of social security factor which will influence the city integration of new generation of migrant workers. Secondly, based on the findings of the literature review and the analysis on the current situation of the city integration of new generation of migrant workers, the theories of Social Exclusion, Social Interaction, Social Support and Social identity were combined to set up the theoretical framework of social security for the city integration of new generation of migrant workers. The pattern of the integration and its potential influencing factors were summarized and based on policy and field research, experts discussed and defined the measured value for migrant workers’access level to social security. These were covered in Chapter Four.Thirdly, descriptive statistical analysis was applied to the survey samples on their influencing factors of the city integration. Then methods of factor analysis and multivariate linear regression analysis were combined to distinguish the key influencing factors of social security on the city integration to Fuzhou so as to lay foundation for the following analysis on the factors’ functional mechanism as well as provide solid practical basis for giving advice on policy making. These were covered in Chapter Five.Fourthly, based on the distinguishing findings of the key influencing factors, SEM and empirical study was applied to the factors’ functional mechanism.The direct and indirect influences of the key factors on the city integration was determined and the interaction of the key factors of social security was explored in order to provide solid practical basis for giving advice on policy making. These were covered in Chapter Six.Fifthly, based on the measured results of the city integration of new generation of migrant workers, three samples were selected separately from the high score group and the low score group of city integration and were given in-depth interviews. The six samples covered manufacturing, service, architecture, retailing and so on, which are all industries with relatively concentrated migrant workers and almost symmetrical. It acted as a complement to empirical study. These were covered in Chapter Seven.According to theory analysis and empirical research, the conclusions of this paper are as following:(1) in social welfare, the city welfare which focuses on education and housing has great influence on the city integration of new generation of migrant workers; (2) in social insurance, the number and duration of insurance project that migrant worker have participated on will remarkably effect the city integration; (3) social assistance in present situation has no effect on the city integration of new generation of migrant workers.Based on the above research conclusion and accompanied with personal in-depth interview, this paper proposes suggestions on social security policy to enhance the city integration of new generation of migrant workers, including increasing support for new generation of migrant workers in city welfare which focus on housing and education, strengthening supervision and inspection for enterprises that should provide social insurance, promoting the construction and improvement of rural social insurance system.Since current empirical research on the social security factors which have effect on city integration of new generation of migrant workers is comparatively rare, this paper is innovative in the perspective of subject selection and content; meanwhile, this research is first to use structure equation model to analyze the mechanism of social security factors which have effect on city integration of new generation of migrant workers, and choose six in-depth interview samples of migrant workers to compensate the insufficiency of data analysis, that is also a creative attempt in analyzing method.Of course, due to the limitations of the research, this paper still needs follow-up study:firstly, this paper is revised only according to each path coefficient T statistics value on structural equation model, not according to MI index to second correct. Therefore, in order to get more reasonable structure equation model, this paper will explore the theoretical basis or empirical basis of the variable attribution further for adjustment, and the structural equation model will further revised based on statistical data and MI index T. Secondly, the national level practice of urban social insurance institution which will benefit migrant workers has just begun, so the benefit brought by institution needs longer time to exam. Therefore, the influence of social insurance institution for the promotion of city integration of migrant workers requires future concern and research.
