Research On The Impact Of Industrial Digitalization On Labor Employmen

The development of the digital economy has promoted the quantitative and qualitative changes of China’s labor market.As the main engine driving the development of the digital economy at present,the impact of industrial digitalization on labor employment is worth exploring.From the perspective of industrial digitalization,exploring the impact of industrial digitalization on labor employment can enrich the research content of digital economy and industrial digitalization on the one hand;On the other hand,it is also of great significance to promote high-quality employment in the digital economy era.On the basis of combing and drawing on existing literature,this paper discusses the theoretical mechanism of industrial digitalization and digital spillover of related industries affecting labor employment;The interpolation method is used to supplement the inputoutput table of the missing years from 2005 to 2020,and the separation coefficient method is used to separate the digital economy industries.The input-output table of the digital economy from 2005 to 2020 is constructed.Based on the balance relationship of the inputoutput table,the industrial digitalization level of 38 industries from 2005 to 2020 is calculated;The panel data model is used to empirically analyze the impact of industrial digitalization on labor employment,and the spillover effect of industrial digitalization is included in the empirical model.The horizontal correlation matrix,forward correlation matrix and backward correlation matrix are used as the weight matrix of the spatial Durbin model to examine the impact of digital spillover of related industries on the scale and structure of labor employment in this industry.Finally,according to the conclusions of the study,relevant policy recommendations are put forward.The main research conclusions of this paper include:(1)The integration and penetration of the digital economy and various industries has brought more employment creation effects than substitution effects,that is,the creation of new jobs brought by the digital development of the industry is greater than the substitution and simplification of old jobs.The net effect of employment is to promote the role.The promotion of the digital process of the industry has significantly expanded the scale of labor employment in the industry and increased the demand for labor employment.(2)Industrial digitalization can have an impact on the employment scale of the labor force in the related industries through the relationship between industries.The improvement of the digitalization level of similar industries and upstream industries will improve the labor absorption capacity of the industry,that is,the increase in employment demand of an industry is not only due to the promotion of the digitalization process of the industry itself,but also driven by the digital spillover effect of the related industries.(3)There is skill heterogeneity in the impact of industrial digitization and digital spillovers from related industries on labor employment.The improvement of industrial digitization level can significantly increase the employment demand for high and low skilled labor,but it has no significant impact on the demand for medium skilled labor.The impact of digital spillovers from related industries on the employment structure of labor shows that similar industries tend to promote the employment of high and medium skilled labor,downstream industries tend to promote the employment of medium skilled labor,and upstream industries tend to promote the employment of medium and low skilled labor.(4)The spillover of digital levels in similar and upstream industries will promote the employment of labor in the manufacturing industry,while the spillover of digital levels in similar and downstream industries will inhibit the employment of labor in the service industry.Based on the above empirical analysis conclusions,the following policy recommendations are proposed:(1)establish and improve digital infrastructure,and vigorously promote the integration of digital economy and industry development;(2)Support emerging industries and increase employment demand by extending industries;(3)Carry out vocational skills training and rationally control structural unemployment.
