An important way to realize urban–rural integration and regional coordinated development is attract labor forces back rural areas. Most of the existing studies consider impact individual factors on population migration, they lack a systematic framework analyze combined different return migration. Furthermore, in practice, interaction within social ecosystem as an driver migration always ignored. Using data from 131 villages 14 cities Guangxi, China, with Coupled Infrastructure System sustainable livelihoods framework, this paper analyzes comprehensive internal components Qualitative comparative analysis used identify four condition combinations that can effectively promote five make vulnerable. The main conclusions are follows. First, high-level public infrastructure providers driving factor for areas, substitution effect exists between them livelihood capitals. Second, sufficient human capital crucial highlighting importance structure members collective atmosphere. Third, natural economic emphasized by previous research not key conditions forming high level Fourth, vulnerability mainly caused decline capital, loss providers, excessive dependence or physical input. To areas need pay attention synergy multi-dimensional special emphasis should be placed cultivation leadership enhancement capital. This provides more instrumental analytical perspective understanding promoting While deepening dynamic relationship mobility, it also offers policy insights developing countries achieve integrated development.

Common prosperity is the fundamental driving force of rural revitalization, as well foundation for achieving sustainable economic development. The e-commerce to countryside policy has energized economy, helping improve household resilience and reduce income stratification, thereby promoting inclusive development digital economy. Drawing on panel data collected from fixed observation points in Henan Province during 2009–2022, this study employs a staggered difference-in-differences (DID) approach evaluate impact China’s farmers’ inequality. empirical results reveal that significantly increases while mitigating underlying mechanisms function through three synergistic pathways: industrial structural upgrading, manifested tri-sector integration driven by enterprise development; factor allocation restructuring, evidenced productivity gains optimized labor–capital reallocation; enhanced market inclusion technology empowerment lowers participation barriers. Heterogeneity analysis indicates exhibits pro-poor characteristics, with its income-enhancing equalizing effects being particularly pronounced agricultural areas, traditional villages, county-level civilized underdeveloped regions, registered poverty-stricken households low human, physical, financial capital endowments. These findings confirm efficacy among vulnerable populations. Consequently, provides replicable implementation framework common objectives.
