Results showed that both a sense of belonging and social identity play important roles in determining rural-urban migrants’ settlement decisions. Besides these, wage, education, and health also affect the willingness of migrant workers to settle in a given area. Therefore, to promote urbanization, policy-makers should pay attention to the subjective demands of rural-urban migrants. We suggested that decision- and policy-makers help such migrants improve their social networks and eliminate identity discrimination, so as to encourage their willingness to settle in cities.http://www.scielo.br/scielo.php?script=sci_arttext&pid=S0103-84782019000800802&lng=en&tlng=ensense of belongingsocial identitysettlement intentionrural-urban migrantsChina
