Abstract: Digital finance has become a key issue of research in the academic community. However, existing studies have paid less attention to the influence factors of urban and rural household income poverty, especially the lack of in-depth investigation on the influence mechanism of digital finance on urban and rural household income poverty. Based on the perspective of social security expenditure, finds digital finance will shorten the gap between urban and rural household income poverty; and the social security expenditure can strengthen this inhibitory effect. The findings provide practical guidance for the government to pay sufficient attention to social security expenditure.
