What are the problems in their transformation and sustainable livelihoods,and how to solve these problems? The domestic academia has made valuable research achievements.This paper sorts out and reviews the main research achievements from domestic academic circles in recent ten years from the establishment of the sustainable livelihood analysis framework of land-lost peasant households,the empirical analysis of the sustainable livelihood of land-lost peasant households,the countermeasures of achieving sustainable livelihood of land-lost peasant households and and so on.The result shows that firstly,the sustainable livelihoods of land-lost peasant households are facing serious challenges,therefore,it should actively adjust their employment orientation and strengthen their vocational skill training; secondly,the government should reasonably solve such problems of land-lost peasant households as employment,income,rights and interests maintenance and social security,in order to help the implementation of sustainable livelihoods and finally,the scholars’study is relatively inadeqate in the comparative study of the sustainable livelihoods of land-lost peasant households in different locations,which will propose the possible directions for the follow-up studies of the livelihood of land-lost peasant households.
