2022-11-08

The rapid development of the digital economy has had a great impact on the operation of the labor market, the employment patterns and career development paths chosen by workers. In the era of digital economy, new forms of employment that enable practitioners to organize, deploy, assign tasks and other activities on a large scale and in a wide range by virtue of digital platforms, such as mobile Internet, big data, artificial intelligence and other digital technologies, are emerging widely. Globally, new forms of employment have emerged in the first 10 years of the 21st century and have become an important part of the current and future labor market. 16% of Americans have ever gained income through online digital platforms, and more than 84 million people have worked on sharing economic platforms in China. The development of new employment forms in China is in the forefront of the world, and it is in a leading position in terms of practitioners' scale, service coverage and industry penetration. At present, there are four types of new forms of employment that are relatively stable and large in China's labor market: first, employment on e-commerce platforms, mainly including entrepreneurs who open online stores on various e-commerce platforms and relevant practitioners who operate online stores; Second, workers on the sharing economic platform, such as online taxi drivers, takeout riders, etc; Third, the online platform market employment model supports practitioners with certain skills, such as programmers, designers, legal workers, online writers, etc. to obtain orders and develop business through the Internet platform; The fourth is the employment model based on community economy and content economy, which takes community and content as the employment model connecting practitioners and consumers. The first two types of new employment involve offline interaction between practitioners and consumers, which requires platform and workplace support. The latter two new forms of employment are basically completed online from task distribution to delivery and settlement, so they become a group of freelancers with certain skills. They can achieve employment mode only by network environment without fixed office space such as office. The development of digital economy has promoted the connection of various factors of production, which makes it possible for workers to find niche markets with long tail in the network environment for their own skills that may be small in a certain range. Take knowledge paid webmasters as an example. Although the number and content of webmasters spreading knowledge on short video platforms are quite rich, there will always be webmasters with specific skills, knowledge or experience standing out to help fans meet their needs for specific content. This form of employment has stimulated the innovative will of workers and formed one of the driving forces for economic growth. The flexible working mode and working time arrangement of the new employment form also provide opportunities for the development of specific groups and promote the fair development of the labor market. For example, in the traditional employment model, the role conflict between family and work has a significant impact on female labor supply. Especially after childbirth, some women will choose to withdraw from the labor market to take care of their children, which leads to a decline in women's labor participation rate. The emergence of a series of new forms of employment, such as e-commerce and webcast, enables women to work at home relying on digital platforms, which can not only meet the needs of family care, but also obtain income. The new employment pattern gives women new opportunities for employment and expands the space for women to play their value. Research shows that the digital economy is driving the new trend
