Digital Economy,Social Integration and Migrants'Settlement Intention
China's labor migration suffers from the problem of"inflow but not retention".In the context of the booming development of digital economy,it is valuable to explore the relationship between the level of urban digital economy development and the residence decision of migrant population in order to promote the new urbanization centered on human beings.The comprehensive development index of dig-ital economy is synthesized using principal component analysis and matched with the data of National Migrant Population Dynamic Surveillance(CMDS)to systematically investigate the impact of the level of digital economy development on the migrant population's intention to reside permanently and its mechanism of action based on the Probit model.The results show that urban digital economic develop-ment has a significant crowding-out effect on the mobile population's willingness to stay permanently.Heterogeneity analysis found that the impact of digital economic development on the willingness to reside permanently varies significantly among different mobile population groups and different urban lo-cations.The analysis of transmission mechanism finds that the development of digital economy crowds out the permanent residence intention of the migrant population by reducing their social integration.The above findings help to verify the impact of the digital economy on the willingness to stay of the migrant population from the perspective of social integration,and provide a theoretical basis for the promotion of migrant population democratization.
