Research on the Impact of the Digital Economy on Wages
Based on the job task model,this paper constructs an analytical framework for the impact of digital economy on the balance between labor supply and demand,examines the wage effect of digital economy,and makes an empirical analysis based on the data of China Labor-Force Dynamic Survey.The results show that the development of digital economy contributes to the improvement of wage level,which is mainly realized by promoting the investment of labor and human capital and broadening the access channels of employment information.Due to the reshaping of the skill demand structure of labor and the impact of the development of digital economy on the employment of low-skilled labor,the wage increasing effect of digital economy is mainly reflected in white-collar occupations,service industries,labor groups with higher education level,younger age,female and urban household registration.As time goes by,the wage-raising effect of the digital economy gradually increases.As the quantiles of the wage distribution increase,the positive effect of the digital economy on wages gradually increases.Therefore,government departments should promote the development of digital economy and raise workers'wages while being vigilant of the employment impact on low-skilled labor force and the widening of income gap between different groups,thus promoting the realization of the goal of common prosperity.
