By matching provincial level data with CFPS data,this paper examines the impact of ICT development on ru-ral workers'income and its mechanism.The study found that ICT development has a significant effect on the income of rural workers.After a series of robustness tests and treatment of en-dogenous problems,the research conclusion is still valid.From the perspective of mechanism,ICT development promotes the in-come of rural workers by improving their skill level and Internet awareness.Heterogeneity analysis shows that ICT development has a relatively strong effect on the income of low-income,young,female,high-skilled,and eastern rural workers.Therefore,we should further develop ICT and bridge the infor-mation gap between urban and rural areas and regions;Rural workers should improve their skills and Internet awareness to a-chieve high-quality employment;Develop differentiated train-ing policies for rural workers with different endowments.
