abstract: 'The Internet technology has had a visible impact on the daily work and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
lives of people, especially the youth. This paper aims to investigate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the influence of Internet technology on labour income as well as the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
channels through which income is affected, with a variety of empirical
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
methods. Using the Chinese Family Panel Survey (CFPS) in 2014 and 2018,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
we discover that a `digital gap'' in Internet use is emerging. First,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
young labour force with higher income and education, urban identity, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
working in high-skilled industry earn more from Internet use than their
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
peers. Second, the return of operational income is higher than the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
return of wage income. Third, the return on long-term Internet use is
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
higher than the return on short-term Internet use; however, the return
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
has tended to decline, particularly among the bottom 25\% income groups.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Forth, the Internet affects their income through three main channels:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
assisting learning, improving working efficiency, and promoting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
information sharing. We also offer a few policy suggestions (e.g.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
improving the allocation of Internet resources).'
