Sažetak
The booming development of digital technology has promoted
economic growth and a new round of growth in the income levels
of residents. However, the uneven development of digital
technology and the existence of the digital divide have led to the
fact that urban and rural residents do not enjoy the dividends of
income growth brought by digital technology equally. This paper
analyzes the relationship between digital technology and the
urban-rural income gap and finds that the development of digital
technology will narrow the urban-rural income gap, but it shows
a non-linear "inverted U-shaped" trend. At the same time, the current
level of digital technology is still low and has not yet crossed
the inflection point of the "inverted U-shaped" curve. With the
continued development of digital technology at its current level,
the urban-rural income gap will further widen.
