Abstract
Land-expropriated farmers are a new group accompanied by rapid urbanization in China. The problem of employment not only is related to their own survival and development, but also directly affects the quality and effectiveness of economic and social development of China. This paper introduces the three-dimensional capital factors of human capital, social capital and psychological capital, comprehensively analyzes the mechanism of their “independent” and “synergistic” influences on the employment of land-expropriated farmers, and constructs a theoretical model of the influences. Based on the survey data of land-expropriated farmers in Daxing district of Beijing, this paper uses the structural equation model to test the theoretical model empirically, and obtains the influence paths and coefficients of three-dimensional capital on the employment of land-expropriated farmers. It is helpful to grasp the key to solve the problem of land-expropriated farmers at the decision-making and implementation levels, and to defuse social risks caused by unemployment of land-expropriated farmers more effectively.

Summary
Bureau of Statistics, the urbanization rate of China had reached 58.52% by the end of 2017, which was an increase of 1.17% over the previous year. The LEFs lose the land they depend on for farming, but without stable employment, they tend to become marginal groups in cities They can get the corresponding money and apartments as the compensation, they are relatively lack of long-term life planning and sustainable development abilities, and they are prone to return to poverty due to improper investments, high consumption in the short term, or problems such as gambling and drug abuse. In view of the slow progress of citizenization of rural migrant population and the quality of urbanization needing to be improved in Daxing district of Beijing, the Outline of the 13th Five-Year Plan for National Economic and Social Development of Daxing District and Beijing Economic and Technological Development Zone emphasized to give priority to employment, to promote the employment of key groups, to actively expand employment channels, to achieve the rural migrant population employment and green employment, and to promote the professionalization and.
