Abstract

“Agriculture, rural areas, and farmers” have always been a focus of attention in China. Prioritizing the development of rural areas and agriculture, and comprehensively promoting rural revitalization is the primary task of China’s current development. This article explores the factors affecting the willingness of rural migrant workers (RMWs) in northern Anhui Province to return to their hometowns for entrepreneurship through online questionnaires and offline surveys. The survey results show that, in terms of gender, male RMWs outnumber female ones, and the willingness of male RMWs to return to their hometowns for entrepreneurship is slightly higher than that of female ones. From the perspective of age, the willingness of RMWs for entrepreneurship in their hometowns shows a U-shaped trend with age. Among the surveyed samples, over 60% of migrant workers are married, but the willingness of unmarried RMWs for entrepreneurship is higher. Under the pressure of stable income sources for family needs, if the number of family members surveyed exceeds 5 people, their willingness to start a business is relatively low. The willingness of RMWs for entrepreneurship in their hometowns is positively correlated with their education level, but the difference is not significant.
