The massive rural-urban migration has produced dramatic changes in China. As a recent policy trend, rural migrant workers were called on to accept flexible employment jobs in communities. However, their employment in urban cities, especially their intention of community employment, has been under-studied in the extant literature. This study follows a qualitative approach in which a group of rural migrant workers holding community jobs in Beijing are interviewed about their intention to maintain community employment; and reporting the reasons for their intention in their own words. It applies a work barrier framework to analyze the reasons contributing to the intention. The results show that they were willing to continue their community employment, but this willingness was reluctant in nature, with consideration of the individual, family, social network, community employment and discrimination factors affecting this. The findings of the study call for a change to their vulnerable positions in the urban labor market, and suggest that social services should be developed to support the migrants in community employment.
