With the slowdown of social and economic development and the solidification of social classes, young people in China are also facing severe multidimensional poverty. Based on the CFPS(China Family Panel Studies)2020 data, the AF(Alkire-Foster) method was used to construct the youth multidimensional poverty index through the dimensions of income status, education access, health level, living conditions, social exclusion and subjective well-being, and the relationship between Internet embeddedness and youth multidimensional poverty was explored. It is found that Internet embedding can significantly improve the multidimensional poverty situation of young people, and can indirectly achieve poverty alleviation by promoting the accumulation of social capital.
