数字素养何以影响居民家庭收入流动性?
How does Digital Literacy Affect Household Income Mobility?
摘要
Abstract
In the digital economy era,digital literacy has gradually become a new driving force for household income growth.Enhancing digital literacy is an essential requirement for adapting to the digital era and a major move to boost household income mobility and optimize income distribution.Hence,it is necessary to explore the impact of digital literacy on household income mobility,which will provide theoretical guidance and empirical evidence for alleviating income inequality,creating more development opportunities for low-income households,and achieving common prosperity. This paper conducts a theoretical analysis of the relationship between digital literacy and household income mobility.By constructing the indicator of income mobility through the income transition matrix based on data of the China Family Panel Studies(CFPS)from 2014 to 2022,it systematically analyzes the impact of digital literacy on household income mobility using the ordered Probit model with a longitudinally tracked household sample,and investigates the mechanisms and heterogeneity.The findings are as follows.First,digital literacy facilitates the upward household income mobility.After a series of robustness tests,the conclusion is still valid.In addition,different dimensions of digital literacy can improve household income mobility,with digital application scenarios exhibiting a more positive effect.In particular,digital literacy can effectively promote the upward mobility of low-income households.Second,digital literacy drives household upward mobility through two paths:the empowerment effect,which fosters the accumulation of human capital and social capital,and the allocation effect,which facilitates non-farm employment and financial market investment.Third,the positive impact of digital literacy on household income mobility is prominent in rural areas,economically underdeveloped areas,and areas with digital economic potential,as well as among middle-aged,elderly,and less-educated households. The marginal contributions are threefold.First,this paper expands the scope of human capital to encompass digital literacy within the context of the digital economy,thereby enriching theoretical research on human capital.Second,returning to the intrinsic definition of income mobility,this paper focuses on the intertemporal changes in household income brackets and systematically elucidates the theoretical linkage between digital literacy and household income mobility.Third,the diversified empirical tests further strengthen the logical coherence of the core findings and provide policy insights for enhancing upward mobility channels and advancing common prosperity in the digital economy era. Based on empirical research,this paper proposes policy suggestions,including improving households'digital literacy,strengthening the capital-accumulation and resource-allocation functions,and designing region-and group-specific strategies,to promote coordinated development of regions and common prosperity.关键词
