"Binary" social structure is the basic characteristics of China's social development. With the deepening of reform,China has the strength of cities supporting rural areas and industry nurturing agriculture.For 8 years, first document formulated by the central and provincial authorities is concerned about the "Agriculture,Countryside and Farmer" issues. As "the Farmer" issues,their low human capital led to a poor employment status. Reducing the differences between migrant workers and urban in human capital can solve this problem effectively and increase their income.In recent years, the State Council and provincial government attach great importance to the issue of migrant workers'skill training and have developed a series of policy measures. But it is that the government hot and farmers cold. In fact, the supply meeting the needs is effective. Because limited financial resources, the Government need to grasp the real needs of migrant workers accurately to reduce inconsistent supply-demand and prevent supply ineffectively or inefficiently.In this paper,we use data collected from the labor market in Nanjing to study the factors that will influence migrant workers'preferences of skills training.Firstly,we do the descriptive statistical analysis of personal characters for migrant workers who is willing to participate in training in the city. Secondly, use the clogit model to analyze the factors which have impacts on migrant workers'preference.In this paper, we use the stated of preference (SP) survey method to design the questionnaire. Compared to the previous revealed preference (RP) data, SP data have many advantages and we can obtain large amounts of data using small sample by SP survey.Through analysis, we drew the following conclusion:total training hours, when the training is held, costs that migrant workers pay for the training and government subsidies for the training programs are the factors that will significantly influence preferences. Still,these four factors bring different levels of preferences to different groups of people.
