Abstract

The range of modern studies which are devoted to the impact of fluctuations in economic dynamics on selected social indicators is divided into different branches of scientific knowledge. The article focuses on a complex research of the social cycle features as a factor and a result of progressive changes in the production component of the socio-economic system. In terms of the developing provisions of the recurrent approach, a social cycle is interpreted as a cycle resulting in transformation processes in the modern macroeconomic cycle and reflecting social changes in the economy and society as a whole. There has been analyzed the impact of changes in the structure of production on transformation of the type of population reproduction, on parameters of the labor market, on increasing social inequality. It has been stated that the digitalization of the Russian economy is accompanied by contradictory social changes in the economy and society as a whole. Positive social changes include the transition from the formula of quantitative increase of human capital to its qualitative improvement, beginning of the process of workers' labor movement towards high-tech activities with automated technological processes, the prospect of replacing health-cost production technologies by life-saving technologies, as a result of production assets the renovation. The negative social effects there have been identified the increase in the incidence due to the unstable dynamics of the mortality rate, imbalance of changes in supply and demand in the Russian labor market, rising unemployment rates, increasing social inequality amid growth of differentiation in wages between low-and high-skilled workers, the growth of secondary inequality in families as a result of unequal access to methods of formation and use of human capital in the highly educated and low-educated part of the Russian population. It has been inferred that digitalization of the Russian economy is dominated by negative social effects as a result of ignoring the account of the complex of cause-and-effect relations between the main components of modern macroeconomic processes.
