Abstract：The transformation of the business format triggered by the digital economy is both an opportunity and a challenge for women' development.This paper aims to examine the impact of digital economy on the gender structure of R&D personnel.Drawing on the theoretical background and current indicators of the gender structure imbalance of R&D personnel from the perspectives of social stratification and labor employment in the scientific community, this study explores the potential mechanisms of the digital economy affecting the gender structure of R&D personnel and proposes hypotheses.Based on two groups of panel data from 30 provinces and 72 cities in China, parametric and semi-parametric econometric regression models are used to conduct empirical tests.The results of the inter-provincial data test show that when gender and socioeconomic variables are contralled, there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between the digital economy and the proportion of female R&D personnel, and the regression based on urban data further captures the existence of the second inflection point.The ranking comparison results indicate that in the early-developed areas of the digital economy (excluding Beijing and Changchun), the ranking order of female R&D personnel is not the same.In some late-developing regions, their proportion is higher.This study highlights the dual and limited impact of the digital economy on the gender structure of R&D personnel.In the future, as digital technology continues to expand and optimize the role of the gender structure of R&D personnel, it is necessary to pay attention to deeper factors such as social gender values and culture.
