The Effect of Digital Rural Construction on Rural Labor's Non-agricultural Employment
This study matched data of the county-level digital rural index with the China Family Panel Studies in 2020 to systematically examine the impact of digital rural construction on rural labor's non-agricultural employment within a theoretical framework of costs and benefits.The findings reveal that digital rural construction significantly promotes non-agricultural employment among rural labor.Additionally,all sub-indices digital infrastructure,rural economic digitalization,rural governance digitalization,and rural life digitalization exert significant positive effects on rural labor's non-agricultural employment.Mechanism analysis indicates that digital infrastructure and rural economic digitalization facilitate non-agricultural employment by reducing transfer costs,while rural governance digitalization and rural life digitalization enhance employment opportunities by increasing expected benefits.These result suggest that different dimensions of digital rural construction influence rural labor's the non-agricultural employment through distinct pathways.
