Abstract

The application of digital technology has profoundly changed human society and has had a significant impact on labor work. The application of digital technology has given rise to a number of new types of work related to digital technology, and has also made traditional types of occupations face the challenge of digital transformation. When academics discuss the impact of digital technology applications on occupational labor from the perspective of workers" skills, there are problems such as limiting the discussion to specific groups and measuring workers' digital skills too singularly. Therefore, this paper proposes the concept of "work inclusivenes". which attempts to identify the impact of the popularization of digital skills in the labor field from the perspective of workers access to work and inequality among groups of workers. In this paper, we use data from the China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) from 2014 to 2020. and adopt the entropy method to calculate the weights of the data related to the frequency and subjective importance of different types of digital activities performed by individuals. so as to generate a variable reflecting the overall level of digital skills of workers. It is used as a independent variable to analyze its impact on workers job acquisition and labor autonomy. and its deep realization mechanism is discussed from the perspective of specific types of digital skills. The study finds that the application of digital technology lowers the threshold of learning digital skills thus promoting the popularization of digital skills; the mastery of digital skills facilitates workers' access to jobs and improves their income and autonomy, and also helps traditionally disadvantaged groups of workers participate in the mainstream work system, i.e.. the popularization of digital skills gradually realizes work inclusivenes. This process also implies the activation of the role of digital skills in entertainment and shopping scenarios in today's occupational fields, and allows urban and rural workers to enjoy the work dividend of digital skills together at the same time. Compared to previous studies in the academia, this study contributes in the following aspects: first, it comprehensively argues the general positive impact of the popularization of digital skills on workers occupational fields through the discussion of work inclusivenes from the perspective of multiple types of workers' skills: second. it argues the epochal feature that skill capitals that were not valued in the industrial era are reactivated in the digital era, which in turn benefits workers occupational development. Lastly, the relationship between digital skills and workers is placed in the context of evolution over time to analyze the dynamics of the mechanism of the impact of different types of digital skills on work inclusivenes. To a certain extent, the research in this paper demonstrates the positive effects of digital skills popularization on workers' access to work, job rewards, and job autonomy, which helps academics and the society to understand the new characteristics of workers' occupational labor in the digital era. At the same time, the study also reveals that the impact of digital technology on workers is gradually shifting from "re-skilling" to "de-skilling", thus providing a more in-depth discussion of the work dividend brought by digital skills.
