Abstract: Based on the investigation data of Wenzhou local and nonlocal rural migrant workers, the binary logistic regression model was adopted to analyze the tendency of residentialization willingness of local and nonlocal migrant workers in Wenzhou, and to compare the differences and determine influencing factors. The results showed that the residentializaition willingness of local migrant workers was stronger than that of nonlocal migrant workers. Factors such as age, life satisfaction and the domicile of elder family members, exhibited a higher influence on local migrant workers than nonlocal migrant workers, while factors such as occupation, monthly income, area of contracted land in hometowns exhibited basically the same influence on local and nonlocal migrant workers. Suggestions were proposed to promote residentialization of nonlocal migrant workers. For instance, rural migrant workers should enjoy equalsocial public services as citizens, education and training of rural migrant workers should be strengthened, and the rural pension system should be perfected.
