Abstract

In the framework of China new urbanization construction, migrant workers are of great significance for urban sustainable development. Based on the data of CLDS2016, we used the multi- -ordered Logistics model to effectively explore the influence of migrant workers ’ language use on the urban settlement will. The research results showed that the mastery of the urban dialect and the language used after work had a significant impact on the willingness of the migrant workers in the urban settlement, while the language used at work had no significant impact on the migrant workers’ willingness to settle in cities. Therefore, policy implications are proposed on improving the social integration of migrant workers, enhancing the sense of belonging, and removing the obstacles and doubts in the process of urban settlement.
