Under the background of the digital economy, the integration of digital and real industries has become a core strategy for industrial upgrading and national competitiveness improvement. Its influence on high-quality employment is growing increasingly obvious. Based on literature research, this paper reviews the impact of digital-real integration on high-quality employment from the perspectives of concept definition, measurement methods, and empirical research. The study finds that existing researches have achieved certain results in the fields of digital-real integration and high-quality employment, which are mainly reflected in the expansion of theoretical frameworks, method innovation and empirical support for policies. However, current studies lack systematic and comprehensive analysis of high-quality employment. There is insufficient macro quantitative research on the employment effects of digital-real integration. Besides, existing discussions on micro-level performances of enterprises and workers remain inadequate. Furthermore, the heterogeneous impacts of digital-real integration on different labor groups and their underlying mechanisms have not been fully explored. In the future, a multi-dimensional evaluation system should be built, focusing on the impact of digital-real integration on changes in employment structure and group differences, so as to provide reference for policy formulation and improvement of employment quality.
