A report out by the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) claims that, on its current trajectory, Alibaba could be responsible for some 112 million jobs out of an eye-watering 415 million total jobs available in China\u2019s digital economy in 2035. \u201cIf Alibaba\u2019s emerging businesses, such as cloud computing and digital entertainment, play a strong future role as well,\u201d BCG alleges, \u201cwe can expect another 10 million jobs by 2035 \u2013 for a total of 122 million jobs,\u201d or roughly 30 percent of the projected total.
\nAnt Financial, Alibaba\u2019s financial arm
\nA 2016 study by Renmin University found that Alibaba\u2019s e-commerce platform has already created 31 million jobs. The vast majority of these jobs \u201ccome through the creation of new online businesses using Alibaba\u2019s platform,\u201d the study said, as well as through \u201cancillary businesses that grew up around it, such as logistics.\u201d
\nChina\u2019s e-commerce marketplace has evolved to reach rural and less-affluent consumers through a series of low-cost, low-tech alternatives. More than 1,300 \u201cTaobao villages,\u201d or rural e-commerce outposts, have sprung up along the economic periphery.
\nIn its \u201cYear 2035\u201d study, BCG estimates that China\u2019s digital economy will comprise 48 percent of the country\u2019s total economy in 2035, or US$16 trillion in spending. In 2015, those numbers were 13 percent and $1.4 trillion, respectively, representing just over 100 million jobs.
