Abstract: By making use of the data of China Household Tracking Survey (CFPS) database, this paper studies the influence of digital literacy on the employment quality of rural female labor force. The results show that digital literacy has a significant effect on the improvement of the employment quality of rural female labor force, and has a greater impact on the subjective employment quality. On the one hand, digital literacy can promote the objective employment quality of rural female labor force through expanding the information channels; on the other hand, digital literacy can weaken the subjective employment quality of rural female labor force through reducing the relative income evaluation. The heterogeneity analysis shows that digital literacy has a more significant effect on the objective employment quality of rural female labor groups with lower per capita household net income, while it has a significant effect on the subjective employment quality of high-income groups. The positive influence of digital literacy on the objective employment quality of rural female labor groups is mainly concentrated in the age groups between 16 and 45 years old, and the influence on the objective and subjective employment quality of the groups with lower and middle education is more obvious. Each dimension of digital literacy has a different impact on employment quality. Therefore, in the future, the government should continue to increase the construction of digital infrastructure, cultivate the digital literacy of rural women, improve the protection of employment rights and interests, and promote the improvement of employment quality.

Key words: digital literacy, rural female labor force, employment quality
