Digital trade is a new engine driving high-quality employment in rural China.Based on the provincial panel data of China from 2013 to 2020,this paper measures the digital trade index and the quality of rural employment,and empirically tests the impact of digital trade on the quantity and quality of rural employment.It is concluded that digital trade has a significant positive impact on the quality of rural employment and that the impact of digital trade development on the number of rural employment shows a"U"pattern of first decreasing and then increasing.Besides,there is regional heterogeneity in the impact of digital trade on the quantity and quality of rural employment.Digital trade reduces the number of rural employment in the eastern region,and the impact on the number of employment in the central and western regions has a non-linear effect that first suppresses and then promotes the employment.Digital trade has not had a significant impact on the quality of rural employment in the eastern region,but it has a positive and significant impact on the improvement of rural employment quality in the central and western regions.
