Abstract
The authors represent data on the state of the process of digitalisation of the Russian economy and draw a conclusion about the high level of the information infrastructure development along with that they note a great gap in the digitalisation level between regions. When assessing the impact of the development of Internet technologies on employment, two main consequences have been identified: the reduction of the impact of the geographical factor on the supply and demand in the labour market and the involvement of previously unoccupied social groups in the production process. The rapid development of the digital economy, the accelerated industrialisation of digital technologies such as the Internet, big data and cloud computing, have led to further improvements in computing power, a significant reduction in computing costs, and a significant leap in data analysis and processing capabilities. The purpose of the study is to analyse and evaluate the effects of economy digitalisation on employment. Within the framework of the research conducted, both general scientific and specific scientific methods were used: formal and logical research methods (the method of induction, deduction, analogy, synthesis, comparison, observation, description, systematisation), formal and legal, historical and legal, comparative and legal, institutional, system analysis. The paper analyses the current global economic and technological trends that affect the transformation and formation of new socioeconomic relations in the context of the digital economy formation. This article examines the impact of the development of digital information technologies on the labour market and employment. The authors represent data on the state of the process of digitalisation of the Russian economy and draw a conclusion about the high level of the information infrastructure development along with that they note a great gap in the digitalisation level between regions. The results of the study can be used in the work of public authorities at all levels to develop and adjust programmes for the further labour market development and to prevent unemployment.
Highlights
The rapid development of the digital economy has brought about profound changes in employment
Digital technologies and Internet platforms go beyond traditional organisations, provide individuals with market, research, production and other resources, and make it easier for people to become a part of the economy
Analysing the impact of information and communication technologies on the labour market and business activity, two main consequences can be identified: firstly, in the digital economy, the effectiveness of interaction between an employee and an employer ceases to depend on their location; secondly, the digital economy has been changing the rigid working day schedule adopted under the industrial form of production, making the use of the employee's human capital flexible [17,18,19]
Summary
The rapid development of the digital economy has brought about profound changes in employment. One of the main trends in the development of the economy and society as a whole is the penetration of information technologies into various spheres of human activity [5] Informatisation is becoming such an important factor in increasing labour productivity and improving the quality of life that researchers consider the changes taking place as the beginning of a new stage of economic development. This stage of economic development in the literature is characterised by the term "information economy" [6,7]. The purpose of the work is to analyse and evaluate the consequences of the digitalisation of the economy in the formation of social and labour relations
