Abstract: On the basis of theoretical analysis of the choice of migrant workers' return sites, the micro-data from the survey of migrant workers in Zhejiang province was used to describe the characteristics of the returning farmers' capital, and the econometric model was constructed to estimate the impact of the increase of farmers' capital on their choice of return sites. The results show that the increase of human capital during the work period of migrant workers has a significant impact on the choice of return site. Whether been trained and the number of occupational flows has a significant impact on the choice of migrant workers' return sites, the former is positively related to the choice of return sites, and the latter is negatively correlated. The cumulative out-of-work years have no significant impact on the choice of return locations. The age of migrant workers, their residential preferences and the amount of land also have a significant impact on the choice of return sites. It is proposed to increase the accumulation of human capital during the period of migrant workers working outside the country, and strengthen the construction of industry and livable environment in the county and town to attract migrant workers to return to the local area.

Key words: migrant workers, reflow, location choice, human capital
