农民工是农民社会流动的产物，农民工群体是我国经济持续健康发展和促进共同富裕的重要推动力量。本文利用2024年中国家庭追踪调查数据，研究数字经济背景下农民工自身数字素养对其就业质量的综合影响。研究表明，在数字经济时代，数字素养对农民工的就业质量有着明显的促进作用，机制分析得出，数字素养能够通过增强农民工的社会资本来提升他们的就业质量。基于以上研究结论，本文提出如下建议：第一，培养农民工数字意识和能力；第二，不断完善数字基础设施建设；第三，规范数字就业平台，保障农民工合法权益；第四，加快一二三产业融合发展，优化农民工就业结构。Migrant workers are the product of the social mobility of farmers. The migrant worker group is an important driving force for the sustained and healthy development of China’s economy and the promotion of common prosperity. This paper uses the 2024 China Family Panel Studies data to study the comprehensive impact of migrant workers’ own digital literacy on their employment quality in the context of the digital economy. The research shows that in the digital economy era, digital literacy has a significant promoting effect on the employment quality of migrant workers. The mechanism analysis reveals that digital literacy can enhance the employment quality of migrant workers by strengthening their social capital. Based on the above research conclusions, this paper puts forward the following suggestions: first, cultivate the digital awareness and ability of migrant workers; second, continuously improve the construction of digital infrastructure; third, standardize digital employment platforms and protect the legitimate rights and interests of migrant workers; fourth, accelerate the integrated development of the primary, secondary and tertiary industries and optimize the employment structure of migrant workers.
