Abstract: The urbanization of migrant workers is of great significance for promoting the new urbanization process, the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy and the realization of Chinese-style modernization. At present, the urbanization of migrant workers is confronted with the following situations: the growth of migrant workers leaving their hometowns and of those entering cities are at low rate; migrant workers hold low human capital and earn low income; migrant workers enjoy low employment security and low living and housing standards. Meanwhile, the urbanization of migrant workers is also profoundly influenced by three predicaments: the state of "migratory birds flying alone" under low income, limited funds for moving to cities in the face of high housing prices, and the conservative concept of self-isolated urban centrism. In the new era, it is necessary to further deepen the reform in three aspects: supporting the development of micro, small and medium enterprises and enhancing human capital, building the urban attraction mechanism and the rural encouragement mechanism, and reforming the household registration system centering on the equal allocation of public services, so as to achieve major changes in the occupational structure, residence structure and identity structure of migrant workers, and ensure the coordinated development of the employment structure, regional structure, population structure and industrial structure of national economic and social development, thereby facilitating the smooth realization of the urbanization of migrant workers.

Key words: urbanization of migrant workers, human capital, urban centralism, integrated urban-rural development, rural revitalization
