Based on China’s panel data of Type II large cities, medium cities and small cities with a resident population of less than 3 million in 2012, 2014-2018, a Logit model is constructed to analyze the impact of new urbanization on the settlement intention of rural laborers.Results show that the impact of new urbanization on the settlement intention of rural laborers is positive and significant. The test of occupational and generational heterogeneity also shows that new urbanization significantly increases the settlement intention of rural laborers with stable occupations to stay in cities of various scale, with business and new-generation rural laborers are more likely to reside permanently in medium-sized cities and type II large cities, while unstable occupations and old-generation rural laborers preferring small cities. The heterogeneity test of education level and skill differentiation responds to the roots of the above occupational and generational differences. The internal path test shows that improvement of economic in the process of new urbanization significantly increases the settlement intention of rural laborers in type II large cities, small and medium-sized cities, but the effect of public services and ecological construction varies according to the scale of the city and individual characteristics, especially the effect of ecological construction on the settlement intention of rural laborers in small cities has a “U” shape characteristic.Based on the research conclusion, this paper puts forward some policy suggestions to improve the willingness of rural laborers to live permanently from the aspects of accurately identifying the needs of various types of labor, accelerating the ecological construction in the process of new urbanization, and actively grasping the development opportunities of digital technology and digital economy.
