Abstract

Research background:Digital transformation are going on both in global economy and within separate states. This phenomenon became known as glocalization. In that respect the analysis of digitalization influence on people’s quality of life in different regions of large-space countries like Russia seems to be actual.Purpose of the article:Basing on calculation of digital component level of people’s quality of life to estimate temporal and spatial effects affecting it, to determine inequality in digital components of quality of life in different regions of Russia.Methods:Digital component of people’s quality of life was computed basing on the authorial Russian regional index including six components. To estimate spatial and temporal effects panel data models were used. Digital inequality was found with the use of R/P 10% ratio, variation ratio and cluster analysisfor 2015–2018.Findings & Value added:The Russian regional index of digital component of quality of life was defined for 85 regions and increased by

Highlights

Modern processes of digital transformation develop both in the global economy and within separate states
Regional and temporal differences are characterized by digital inequality in Russian regions and components of people's quality of life
The Russian regional index suggested by the authors allowed to evaluate people's digital quality of life on three levels and in the context of six components

Summary

Introduction

Modern processes of digital transformation develop both in the global economy and within separate states. Along with the concept of globalization the glocalization term is used, it means that global and local processes are interconnected in influence on each other in different spheres of social development. This matter exhibited after the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic beginning, especially in such areas as higher and secondary-level education, providing state services for people, in organizations using distant working places and so on. In that respect it seems to be actual to analyze the influence of digitalization on people's quality of life in different regions of such spacious countries like the Russian Federation (RF). The purpose of the article is to compute the level of digital component of people's quality of life, evaluation of temporal and spatial effects influencing on it as well as to discuss inequality of digital components of quality of life in different regions of Russia
