This paper explores the specific pathway linking human capital class status and social identity to migrant workers’ permanent migration intentions using a structural equation model. While migrant workers‘ permanent migration intention is generally low, young migrant workers have higher intention than the middle-aged migrant workers. Class status and identity have direct impact on the intention, while class status also has an indirect effect through identity. Human capital has no direct effect, only indirectly influencing the permanent migration intention through class status and identity. There are intergenerational differences in the mechanism of influence. The young migrant workers?? intentions are affected by both class status and social identity, whereas the middle-aged workers are only influenced by social identity. Therefore, the current policy design of new style urbanization should pay attention to improving the quality of migrant workers‘human capital, and actively promote the social and cultural integration of migrant workers, so as to promote the upward mobility and urban identity of migrant workers, which ultimately promote the permanent migration.
