Abstract Based on the perspective of complex network, this paper uses complex social network analysis to test the spatial network association between foreign direct investment and redundant rural labor force. The results show that, the transfer of redundant rural labor force in China and FDI are “universally connected” in space, and the two networks have many similar characteristics in terms of network accessibility and central area. Although the overall level of space association network between redundant rural labor force and foreign direct investment is not high but stability and multiple overlapping of it, respectively has 223 and 268 spatial relations. The QAP regression results show that, FDI and the adjacency of geographic location has a significant positive impact on the spatial correlation and spatial spillover effect of redundant rural labor force, which has effect of “First come, first served.” This paper provides an evidence for the transition from developing countries to objectively evaluate the impact of foreign direct investment in the host country for the transfer of redundant rural labor force, also has important policy implications for the future adjustment of China labor market policy.
