Abstract

[Purpose/Significance] With the improvement of China's urbanization level, a large number of migrant workers have entered the city to seek development. This article analyzes the hot topics and research frontiers in the field of migrant workers, which helps to clarify the research status and frontier trends in the field of migrant workers. [Methods/Process] We conducted descriptive statistics and visual analysis of the literature related to migrant workers in CSSCI journals from 2010 to July 2020, the distribution of key authors and the source of the publishing organization, and the source of the key words with the help of CiteSpace tools. [Results/Conclusions] The research found that the research hotspots in the field of migrant workers in the past ten years mainly include: new generation migrant workers, migrant workers' children, migrant workers' urban integration, migrant workers' social security, migrant workers related influencing factors and countermeasures research; The latest research frontiers in the field mainly focus on targeted poverty alleviation, happiness, citizenship willingness, migrant workers' entrepreneurship, career development, and mental health. In addition, the teachers and students of various universities are the main force in the research of the migrant worker group at this stage, but the universities lack long-term large-scale cooperation, only a small amount of internal cooperation, and cross-institutional cooperation research is rare. In the future, we can strengthen cross-institutional and cross-field cooperative research; improve the policy and regulation system for migrant workers, protect their basic rights and interests in employment, education, health and medical care, improve the social service system, and promote social equity and stability.
