Through the case study on 11 sample villages generated by the random stratified sampling in Henan Province, authors of this paper find that the distribution of destinations is dispersed in a large area while concentrated in certain places. Most of the destinations are in counties and outside Henan Province. Migrant workers are mainly concentrated in the economically more developed eastern provinces. The central, though a big source of migrant workers, has not formed a core employment area for migrant workers. The main factors influencing migrant workers' choice of employment distances include age, family size, per capita arable land, the village's economic development level, the village terrain, transportation, its distance from the nearest city, and workers' relationship networks. From the perspective of employment destinations, on a provincial scale, the employment attraction coefficient based on the destination's level of economic development and the employment distance, efficiently explains farmers' choice of destinations, that is, destinations with a more developed economy and a shorter employment distance are the top choice for migrant workers.展开更多
