Abstract

With the modernization, transformation and upgrading of China’s construction industry, the transformation of migrant workers into industrial workers in the construction industry is also an inevitable trend. Therefore, it is particularly important to explore the factors affecting the transformation of migrant workers. First of all, the paper identified 26 factors affecting the transformation of migrant workers in the construction industry into industrial workers through literature research and expert interviews. Secondly, through spss26.0 statistical analysis software, the data recovered from questionnaires are analyzed, key factors are extracted, and five categories of major influencing factors are identified. According to the importance the rankings are: personal and enterprise factors, institutional factors, policy factors, industry factors and market factors. Finally, countermeasures and suggestions are put forward to provide reference for accelerating the industrialization of China’s construction industry and migrant workers.
