摘　　要：Among Chinese migrant workers, there are obvious intergenerational differences between those who were born before and after the dividing line of 1980. The latter possess more human capital and have plans for their careers. In seeking work they tend to rely on government and the market, and they are more concerned with their long-term development. Their job stability is often quite low. They are more subject to infringement on their rights or more prone to believe that their rights have been infringed, but have a better knowledge of labor law and are bolder in the defense of their rights. Their individual consumption level is higher than that of the pre-1980 cohort, and they have a higher proportion of Intemet users. This generation is more likely to spend their spare time in recreation and entertainment. Their evaluation of and identification with society is relatively high, but they have a weakening connection with their hometowns and are therefore more willing to give up their contracted land and switch their household registration to the cities where they work. This generation of migrant workers poses a challenge not only to enterprises＇ ideas on management, but also to the dual urbanrural social structure. Having obtained the rights to migrate to and work in the cities, migrant workers should further obtain citizenship rights on a completely equal footing with urban residents.以1980年前后出生为界，中国城市农民工呈现出明显的代际差异：80后农民工拥有更多人力资本，有职业规划，求职途径较多为市场和政府，关注自己的长远发展，职业稳定性较低；他们被侵权或自己感觉被侵权的比例更高，对相关劳动法规更了解，更有维权的勇气；个人消费水平高于80前农民工，网民比例高，业余生活娱乐休闲色彩浓厚；对社会的评价和认同度相对更高，与老家的联系程度正在减弱，更愿意放弃老家田地、把户口迁入工作城市。80后农民工向企业的管理理念提出了挑战，更向城乡二元社会结构提出了挑战；农民工在取得流动权、工作权以后，理应进一步取得与城市居民完全平等的公民权。
