Abstract Based on the data of the special survey on social integration of Migrants Population Dynamic Monitoring Survey in 2013 and 2014, this paper applies the extended model to analyze the impact of government training on the self-employment of rural migrant workers. The empirical results are as follows: Government training helps to promote the self-employment of migrant workers, and can significantly increase the probability of self-employment of migrant workers by 14.2%; Compared with employer self-employment, government training mainly helps to promote self-employment of rural migrant workers; Government training can not only directly promote rural migrant workers to become self-employed workers by improving their skilled human capital, but also indirectly promote rural migrant workers to become employers by increasing their local social capital; The promotion effect of government training on theself-employment of rural migrant workers is universal, especially for the female group; With the improvement of the level of regional marketization, the role of government training in promoting self-employment of migrant workers is becoming more and more obvious; Government training is an effective way to improve the performance of migrant workers’ self-employment market, and it is especially effective to improve the market performance of self-employed migrant workers with low professional level and reputation. Therefore, government departments should continue to vigorously develop vocational skills training programs for migrant workers to promote migrant workers’ multi-channel, multi-form and high-quality employment, so as to help achieve the policy goal of “Stable Employment” and “Employment Protection”.
