Abstract

The development of digital economy brings opportunities and challenges to Chinese enterprises. This paper incorporates the development of digital economy and the labor demand of enterprises into the same analytical framework, with the help of data from the National Bureau of Statistics, CSMAR database and annual reports of enterprises, and takes 2,160 non-financial listed companies in 31 provincial regions of China (except Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan) as the research samples in the period of 2013-2022, and utilizes entropy weighting to derive the digital economic development level, and empirically examined the impact of digital economy development on labor demand using a panel data model. It is found that digital economic development has a significant positive impact on the scale of labor demand, and there is a non-linear relationship between the two, i.e., there is a double-threshold effect with the enterprise digital transformation index as the threshold variable; further heterogeneity test finds that the digital economic development has a heterogeneous effect on the labor demand of listed companies in different industries. In this regard, this paper puts forward the relevant policy recommendations for the continuous promotion of labor demand, so that it can not only enrich the content of the research on the development of the digital economy, but also has an important significance for how to solve the employment problem in the era of the digital economy, and then for the realization of maintaining social stability and high-quality development of the economy.
