Abstract

Against the backdrop of the profound penetration of the digital wave into all walks of life, vocational education, as the core position for cultivating skilled talents and supporting industrial upgrading, is facing profound changes in its economic investment and management models. This paper, based on the characteristics of the digital age and combining the core connotations of vocational education economics and management, systematically reviews the policy, economic, technological, and practical foundations for the digital development of vocational education in China. It analyzes the current status and characteristics of development from both economic and management dimensions, deeply explores the prominent problems and external challenges currently faced, draws on advanced international practices, proposes targeted development paths, and ultimately forms research conclusions and future prospects. This research aims to enrich the theoretical connotation of the interdisciplinary field of vocational education economics and management, provide practical references for the high-quality digital development of vocational education in China, and contribute to the construction of a skills-based society and the cultivation of new productive forces.
