Abstract
Against the backdrop of the rapid development of digitalization today, the platform economy, as an emerging economic form, is profoundly changing the operation mode and resource allocation methods of the labor market. The efficiency of labor resource allocation is an important indicator to measure the vitality and potential of economic development in a country or region. It is not only related to the welfare level of workers but also directly affects the productivity level and development quality of the entire society. With the help of modern information technology means such as Internet technology, big data algorithms, and mobile communication devices, the platform economy closely connects originally scattered individual workers with employers, building a large and complex networked trading platform. Based on this, this paper focuses on the impact and role of the platform economy on the efficiency of labor resource allocation, aiming to stabilize the efficient operation of the labor market.
