Secondly, through a literature review, this paper summarizes the main findings of existing research, clarifies the key role of the digital economy in the labor market, and reveals the theoretical basis and practical performance of the digital economy in promoting the transfer of rural labor. In addition, this paper analyzes the specific impact mechanism of the digital economy on the transfer of rural labor, including information acquisition and employment opportunities, skills training and human capital improvement, changes in the entrepreneurial environment and employment structure, and enhanced employment matching and mobility. In order to verify the effectiveness of the theoretical analysis, this paper selects typical regions for case analysis, discusses in detail the transfer of rural labor in these regions under the background of the digital economy, and summarizes general conclusions and inspirations. The study found that the digital economy not only significantly increases the employment opportunities of rural labor, but also improves their skill level and mobility, and promotes the development and transformation of the rural economy. Finally, this paper puts forward a series of policy recommendations for the government, enterprises and all sectors of society, aiming to better utilize the digital economy to promote rural labor transfer and achieve coordinated development of rural and urban areas.
