The migrants to the city are tended to be younger, high-educated and employed in diversified sections, which means the social structure of migrants transformed due to the urbanization and the improvement of industrial structure. Taking the above new situation into account, it is argued that the migrants could be divided into five social strata by factors of occupation, education, the housing condition and settlement ability. Furthermore the education and working skils, hukou and its sub-policies, the urban public supply and migrant time have become four chief mechanisms influencing migrants’ social stratification in practice which are also the directions to work on for improving migrants’ social status.%受到城市化和产业结构调整等因素的影响，当前流动人口低龄化、高学历化和职业多样化等趋势日益明显，其社会结构发生显著变化。在新形势下，从职业、学历、居住条件、定居能力等四个维度，可以将流动人口划分为差异显著的五个群体。在实践上，教育与技能、户籍制度及其“子政策群”、城市公共供给和迁移时间等成为影响流动人口社会分层和流动的主要机制，同时也是促进流动人口社会地位提升的四个重要因素和重点工作方向。
