Abstract

The acculturation of second-generation labor migrants has become a problem faced by urbanization in China. Cultural adaptation is divided into three stages: cultural aspiration period, cultural shock period, and cultural change and integration period, and the problems faced by cultural adaptation are different for different stages. The cultural adaptation of the second-generation labor force is related to the subject's cultural level and objective living environment, and the three main factors affecting cultural adaptation are labor status, subject's psychology and cultural environment. By creating youth-friendly cities to improve the labor environment, realizing the dialectical unity of establishing common values and respecting multiculturalism, and promoting the construction of primary psychological medical care, the cultural adaptation of second-generation labor migrants is dramatically improved.
