The Digital Economy and the Employment Quality of Migrant Workers:Opportunities and Dilemmas—A Multidimensional Analysis Based on CFPS 2018 Data
The development of the digital economy has injected new energies into the high-quality employment of migrant workers and provided opportunities for their transformation and upgrading,but at the same time,it has also posed new dilemmas.Based on data from the 2018 China Family Panel Studies(CFPS),the HLM model was used to analyze the impact of the digital economy on the employment quality of migrant workers and its intrinsic mechanisms from a multilayered perspective,with an attempt to reveal the potential problems involved.The results show that the digital economy optimizes the employment structure at the macro level and promotes the accumulation of weak social capital and human capital at the micro level,thus significantly improving the employment quality of migrant workers,particularly in terms of income level and labor contract signing rate;however,there are also problems in that some low-income migrant workers are unable to enjoy the"digital income dividend"and the"flexibility"of labor contracts.The influence of the digital economy on working hours shows a bidirectional effect.Moreover,the new types of occupational positions and patterns of labor relations created by the digital economy contained obvious deficiencies in labor security.Heterogeneity analysis further indicates that the digital economy has a bias towards groups of migrant workers with certain characteristics,which will exacerbate inequalities within migrant workers.Finally,policy recommendations to improve the employment quality of migrant workers are proposed.
