Abstract: Based on the theory of human behavior from a multi-dimensional perspective, and 632 survey data of resumption of migrant workers’ work in May 2020, the Probit-ISM model was used to analyze the factors affecting whether migrant workers returned to work, and the multiple Logit model was used to analyze the factors affecting the types of work resumed. The results showed that the situation of migrant workers returning to work was generally good and they mainly returned to their original units. The cognition of employment risk was the direct driving factor of their choice of resumption behavior, while individual, environment and institution were the indirect influencing factors. The government should establish and improve the multi-level social security system for migrant workers, reduce the unemployment risk of migrant workers and improve the quality of employment.
