In this context, in the intergenerational perspective of off-farm workers, to analysis of life satisfaction factors and mechanisms for achieving peasant workers’citizenization have practical significance to promote the new urbanization.Firstly, the paper introduces the research background and significance, reviews the relevant literatures, and designs technical route of research. Secondly, according to the relevant literature, combining with 2009 Chinese rural-urban migration survey data(RUMiC),the paper constructs an affecting factors system of life satisfaction of off-farm workers, including the economic, emotional personality, demographic and social characteristics, social security, housing, regional and other factors.
