Abstract—With the rapid development of the digital economy, it has become an important driving force for promoting common prosperity, which is the core goal of China’s economic and social development in the new era. This paper takes the relationship between the digital economy and common prosperity as the core, first combs the core characteristics of the digital economy, the core connotation and practical requirements of common prosperity policies, and clarifies the mechanism of the digital economy empowering common prosperity from multiple dimensions such as economic growth, income gap narrowing, regional and urban-rural balanced development, and public service equalization. Then, it analyzes the current situation of the implementation of common prosperity policies supported by the digital economy, points out the existing dilemmas including regional digital development gaps, uneven distribution of digital dividends, imperfect digital format supervision, and digital monopoly. Finally, aiming at these problems, it puts forward targeted policy optimization paths from four aspects: improving the balanced construction policy of digital infrastructure, improving the support policy for the inclusive development of digital industries, building a regulatory system for digital income distribution and social security adjustment, and strengthening long-term digital governance and supervision support policies. This research provides theoretical support and practical guidance for promoting common prosperity under the background of the digital economy, while also pointing out the deficiencies of this research and the direction of future research.
