数字鸿沟对农村居民非农就业质量的影响研究

The Impact of the Digital Divide on the Quality of Non-Farm Employment for Rural Residents

提高农民工就业质量是实现共同富裕的关键保障。随着数字技术的快速发展,数字鸿沟问题在农村居民内部普遍存在,由此带来的信息红利差异对农村居民就业质量具有重要影响。本文利用中国劳动力动态调查数据库(CLDS)最新的2018年的微观数据,采用Logistic回归分析法,探究数字鸿沟对农村居民非农就业质量的影响,研究发现,缩小数字鸿沟有利于提高农村居民非农就业质量,这种影响在受教育程度高和有技能证书的农村居民中更大。中介效应分析结果表明,缩小数字鸿沟可提高职业匹配程度,进而提升农村居民非农就业质量。因此,为了提升农村居民非农就业质量,有必要进一步提升农村居民的数字素养和技能,完善农村数字基础设施建设,加强对农村居民的职业指导和职业规划,增强数字经济对高人力资本水平农村居民的就业提升效应,提高其职业匹配度。Improving the quality of employment for rural workers is a key guarantee for achieving common prosperity. With the rapid development of digital technology, the problem of digital divide prevails within rural residents, and the resulting difference in information dividend has an important impact on the quality of rural residents’ employment. Using the latest 2018 microdata from the China Labour Force Dynamics Survey Database (CLDS), this paper employs logistic regression analysis to explore the impact of the digital divide on the quality of non-farm employment for rural residents, and finds that narrowing the digital divide is conducive to improving the quality of non-farm employment for rural residents, and that this impact is greater among rural residents with high levels of education and skill certificates. The results of the mediation effect analysis show that narrowing the digital divide can improve the degree of occupational matching, which in turn enhances the quality of rural residents’ non-farm employment. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of rural residents’ non-farm employment, it is necessary to further enhance rural residents’ digital literacy and skills, improve the construction of rural digital infrastructure, strengthen vocational guidance and career planning for rural residents, and enhance the employment-enhancing effect of the digital economy on rural residents with high levels of human capital, so as to increase the degree of occupational matching.
