Based on the 2018 and 2020 data of the China Family Tracking Survey(CFPS),the article analyzes the impact of individual digital participation on the perception of inequality of opportunity at the subjective level in the context of the development of the digital economy.The findings show that individual digital engagement behaviors significantly increase their subjective sense of unequal opportunities.Further analyses found that activities such as Internet socializing,entertainment,and living increase residents' sense of unequal opportunities,while Internet learning decreases the sense of unequal opportunities;the impact of digital participation on the sense of unequal opportunities varies significantly across groups and is able to significantly increase the sense of unequal opportunities in low-income,middle-aged,elderly,and low-education groups.Mechanism analyses found that digital participation can increase individuals' sense of unequal opportunities by lowering their self-assessment of social status and increasing their perception of livelihood risks.The results of the counteraction mechanism test show that the increase in the level of individual confidence in the future and the level of social trust can effectively alleviate the stimulating effect of digital participation behavior on an individual's sense of unequal opportunities.
