Fully unleash the potential of digital economy to promote employment

2024-01-02   

The rapid iteration of technological forms from information technology to intelligent technology has driven a profound transformation of economic growth patterns and social lifestyles. Since the new era, China's digital society has developed comprehensively, the scale of digital economy practitioners has accelerated, and the types of professions have become more diverse. A social mechanism that adapts to the diffusion of digital skills has gradually been established, continuously unleashing the potential to promote employment. Relying on new formats, more flexible new occupational groups are emerging in a concentrated manner. Emerging occupational groups such as autonomous driving safety officers, beverage mixers, organizer and organizer, store scouts, pet trainers, and game trainers have expanded the employment options for young people. According to the 2023 White Paper on New Career Development Trends, 17.5% of young people are already trying new professions outside of traditional industries, and 58.5% of young people have a strong interest in new professions. Unlike systematic learning in professional colleges, the skill development of new occupational groups is individualized and mainly relies on interest driven and peer assistance. For example, in the live streaming industry, newcomers usually enter the studios of other anchors as interns or employees to learn, in a way similar to a master apprentice system, including skills such as script and camera sense. After accumulating sufficient skills and traffic, newcomers can leave for entrepreneurship. Many young people who are interested in the "anime", especially the flexible employees in the cultural and creative industries, directly use virtual communities and social platforms to "learn from teachers". In software development communities, game communities, and online literature creation communities, members all ask, answer, and create based on their virtual identities on the internet. They learn by doing and learn by doing. There is no strict division of learning, work, or trading scenarios, and the speed of skill development is accelerated. The rise of new occupational groups reflects the vitality of the flourishing development of the digital economy. Although it is currently difficult for us to directly calculate the exact contribution of these new professions to the economy, low-cost learning and exchange opportunities lower the threshold for employment and entrepreneurship, stimulate more people's enthusiasm for innovation and entrepreneurship, and bring new opportunities for the development of regional economy, especially county-level economy. In Heze, Shandong, peony farmers are blooming everywhere, driving surrounding farmers to engage in the wholesale planting of peonies and peonies, participating in and witnessing the upgrading of the local peony industry and the rapid development of the local economy as a result. It is reported that currently, each peony garden in Heze has its own agricultural technician, and many seedling breeding and cultivation techniques have reached the world's advanced level. It has become the largest and most diverse peony production base, export base, and ornamental base in the world. For example, Cao County in Shandong Province has transformed from a roughly processed performance clothing industry to a complete industrial chain that integrates Hanfu originality, design, exhibition, and after-sales services. Its products have appeared on many international clothing display stages. The social application of digital technology has profoundly changed the occupational structure, making the labor methods of new occupational groups exhibit three major characteristics: virtuality, dispersion, and volatility. The so-called virtuality refers to the large amount of labor processes, service exchanges, and innovation and entrepreneurship carried out in invisible virtual spaces. Decentralization refers to the continuous extension of the industrial chain of the digital economy, with detailed division of labor, and the dispersion of market returns in different stages and regions participating in collaboration. As for volatility, it refers to the high volatility of market demand due to the highly interconnected nature of the digital society.
