摘要

This study investigates the impact of digital technology on inclusive growth, using data from the China Family Panel Studies (2010–2018) and a mediation effect model. Inclusive growth is operationalized through two core indicators: individual income levels and income disparity. Results show that access to digital technology significantly boosts income and reduces inequality, with Internet use frequency mediating this relationship. The effects are especially pronounced among rural residents, women, and individuals in higher-skilled occupations. Robustness checks confirm the validity of the findings. The results highlight the potential of digital technology to promote inclusive growth, underscoring the need to expand digital infrastructure and ensure equitable access across social groups.
