Abstract：This paper analyzes the influencing factors and regional differences about the rural labor flow in China， using the tracking survey data of 28 provinces in China with Heckman two stage selection models. The research shows that： Firstly， on the whole， the location choice of labor force flow is less subject to the influence of individual human capital characteristics and family factors， however， village environment and macro-economic and social environment are the important factors that affect the location choice of the labor force flow. Secondly， to different regions， location choice of labor force flow is a complicated process， and labor force flow in different regions are influenced by different factors. Eastern regions concern individual human capital and regional environment variables， while central regions concern human capital and village environment variables more， and then western regions concern more about the macro-economic variables. Thirdly， in different regions， personal age， education and the non-agricultural industries development of the provinces have obvious impacts on the location choice of labor force flow， but the internal mechanisms of those impacts are different. Finally， in central and western regions， the promotion of regional public service has the positive effect on labor force to choose where to work.
