Abstract: Backflow of migrant workers is an essential part of rural surplus labor transfer. 425 valid samples from Haicheng, Taian and Xiuyan cities of Liaoning Province were analyzed and place selection and influencing factors were discussed. The study indicated that in backflow migrant workers, 43.16% returned to counties and towns, while 56.84% returned to rural areas. Place selection was significantly influenced by years of migrant work, training, times of migration, migration distance, age, land area in hometown, and living preference.
