在数字经济时代，数字生产形式推动了企业组织和商业运营机制的变革。它还影响着区域创业的发展以及个体创业的选择。青年是国家的未来和民族的希望，青年就业关乎人民福祉、经济发展和国家前途。本文从社会资本视角出发，利用2018年流动人口动态监测数据（CMDS）对新生代农民工青年创业进行考察。实证结果表明，社会资本的提升能够显著促进新生代农民工青年创业；从社会资本视角来看，社会网络、社会信任和社会地位对创业有显著促进作用。然而，社会参与的作用并不明显。从不同创业类型来看，与生存型创业相比，社会资本对机会型创业的影响更为显著。异质性分析发现，社会资本对受教育程度较高、家庭收入较高以及从事现代服务业群体的机会型创业有显著影响；在中心城市和沿海地区，社会资本能够促进新生代农民工青年的机会型创业。拓展分析进一步发现，数字经济能够显著促进社会资本的创业效应。
