Perspectives on China's Digital Skills Training Policy for New Vocational Peasants—Three-Dimensional Analytical Framework Based on"Time-Tool-Strength"
Policies serve as a crucial guidepost for the digital skills training of new vocational peasants.By constructing a three-dimensional policy analytical framework of"time-tool-strength",an empirical analysis of 105 policy texts issued at the national and local levels from 2012 to 2023 reveals the following results.In the time dimension,China's digital skills training policy for new vocational peasants has gone through such stages as the emergence of concept,rapid expansion,steady development and the high-quality iteration,showing a steady upward trend alternating between peaks and valleys.In the tool dimension,the relevant policy is composed of four major types and 11 core elements,such as command,incentive,capacity building and systemic change,among which the capacity-building policy has gained the highest attention,covering the elements of digital skills in 14 work areas.In the strength dimension,the policies issued at the level of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China and the State Council were the most numerous,while those at the level of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security received less attention.As a result of the cross-analysis in different dimensions,it has been found that the evolution of the focus,the development and distribution,and the logical correlation of the elements of China's policy on digital skills training for new vocational peasants are stereo and dynamic in the three-dimensional analytical framework of"time-tool-strength".Digital skills training policy for new vocational peasants in China in the future should accelerate the top-level design to formulate special national policy on digital skills training,highlight the regional characteristics and inclusiveness of groups to guide the formation of a strongly targeted action plan for digital skills training,and focus on positive incentives and aggregation effects to form policy support for"partners to participate in digital skills training".
