Abstract

In recent years, the digital economy has achieved rapid development, especially playing an irreplaceable role in improving employment patterns, creating job opportunities, and adjusting employment structure. A sudden outbreak in 2020 impacted people’s lives, and a large number of real economies faced the situation of delayed resumption of work, which caused problems such as shortage of funds, difficulty in sales, and layoffs. However, the digital economy has developed rapidly, ensuring social supply and promoting society. Consumption has played an important role. But the digital economy also inevitably brings a series of problems, which deepens the “digital divide”. This article defines the digital economy, lists its most distinctive features, explains the positive impact of the digital economy and the problems it may bring, and proposes countermeasures and suggestions for this.
