Employment quality improving of fl oating population in fl exible employment will signifi cantly increase their residency intentions. Moreover, reducing identity discrimination upon migrant workers in fl exible employment, lowering their diffi culty in buying condo, increasing their training skills, and developing local Internet economies can indirectly increase their residency intentions. The research suggests that the development level of the Internet economy should be improved, a more complete public employment service system should be established, the local social security participation rate of the fl exible employment fl oating population should be improved, and the diffi culty of buying condo should be reduced, so as to improve the employment quality of the fl exible employment fl oating population and increase their residence intention.
