Abstract

With the development of the digital economy, a new situation has been provided for the work of migrant workers, but the income gap between urban and rural areas is large and the situation of working but not getting rich still exists. Based on the data of the China Comprehensive Social Survey (CGSS) in 2021, this study explores the effect of Internet use on alleviating the work poverty of migrant workers in the new economic era. The study found that compared with migrant workers with average health status, the higher the frequency of Internet use of migrant workers, the less likely they are to fall into work poverty, and compared with the migrant workers with junior high school education, the higher the frequency of Internet use, which has a certain effect on alleviating work poverty.
