Abstract: The influence of non-standard employment on the employment development of workers is the main content of this paper. Based on the China Labor-force Dynamics Survey and some report data, this paper takes transition as the main index, and discusses the role of non-standard employment as a "bridge" or "trap" in the career of workers, as well as the influencing factors and result differences. The study finds that only 5 percent of workers have shifted to standard employment through non-standard employment. On the whole, non-standard employment is more in line with the "trap theory". But at the same time, the transition from traditional non-standard employment to new employment form will effectively increase the wages of workers, so the new employment form provides the "third development path" for the internal transition of non-standard employment.

Key words: non-standard employment, employment transition, new forms of employment
