Domestic and foreign scholars have recently discussed the marginalization among young migrant workers in cities mostly from the perspective of institutional constraints.This paper,by adopting both quantitative and qualitative methods,analyzes city adaptation among young migrant workers.It is found that individual factors have an important effect on adaptation.Such finding suggests that in order for young migrants to avoid being marginalized,they should get rid of the psychological stereotype of members of "socially vulnerable group," to improve their human capital accumulation and to actively involve in the city life.
