When migrant workers integrate into cities, psychological reconstruction cannot be ignored

As new urbanization accelerates, it has become possible for migrant workers to integrate into cities. The integration of migrant workers into cities has three progressively advancing levels: economic, social, and cultural-psychological. Only when cultural-psychological adaptation is achieved can it be said that migrant workers have fully integrated into urban society. Research has found that the psychological characteristics of migrant workers in cities today are mainly manifested as a underclass mentality, a sojourner mentality, a marginal mentality, and a conservative mentality. To change this state, psychological reconstruction of migrant workers must be achieved, that is, cultivating ways of thinking and behavior patterns adapted to modern society. First, the basic social structure must be reconstructed. Rural areas should improve farmers' capacity for self-governance and cooperation, laying the conceptual and behavioral foundation for migrant workers to integrate into cities after entering them. Cities should provide community work and organizational resources to do a good job of connecting with migrant workers when they enter the cities. Second, social action must be reconstructed. Urban governments should be inclusive when formulating policies. The government should ensure that migrant workers exercise all their rights in accordance with the law, so that they adapt to the behavioral rules of modern society and ultimately integrate into the city.
