This article uses data from the 2015 China General Social Survey (CGSS) to explore in depth the relationship between the employment quality and subjective well-being of migrant workers. The research results show that: 1) The overall level of subjective well-being of Chinese migrant workers is relatively low, with an average score of only 3.71 points, indicating that migrant workers generally lack happiness in their work and life. 2) The employment quality of migrant workers has a significant impact on their subjective well-being. Specifically, reasonable remuneration, shorter working hours, a free working environment, and a sound social security system all contribute to enhancing the subjective well-being of migrant workers, enabling them to actively engage in their work and better enjoy life. 3) It is worth noting that there are significant gender differences in the impact of the employment quality of migrant workers on their subjective well-being. For male migrant workers, increasing their labor income and reducing working hours have a more significant effect on improving subjective well-being, while female migrant workers are more susceptible to the influence of basic medical insurance and other aspects on their subjective well-being.
