Abstract
Abstract. The abrupt introduction of information and communication technologies leads to global shifts in the world economy, society, labor market and other areas. Ukraine demonstrates ~26% annual growth rate of IT services. Nowadays the IT industry ranks third in terms of exports of services. In 2020, the country’s exports of IT services exceeded $ 5 billion. However, as the study showed, the growth rate of the information and communication industry is insufficient to reach a level close to the level of the world’s leading economies. Moreover, there are trends that are dangerous for the development of the economy and society. The analysis showed that in the formation of a global information society there are risks of technological and socio-economic gap not only between countries but also between generations and social strata within countries and this is a threat to the development of Ukraine’s economy and society. Part of the population is not provided with adequate conditions to increase their own potential, which is the main driver of economic development. This is the basis for the formation of the «digital» gap and slows down social and economic reforms. The systematization of the main features of the global economy revealed inconsistencies in the development of information technology in Ukraine. According to objective indicators, it is analyzed how in Ukraine data are published and used for accountability, innovation, economic and social development. It is indicated that there are limiting factors for the formation, support and disclosure of data. This leads to restraint of the global movement of development in the country — when information and knowledge lead to the direct formation of new information and new knowledge. As the level of development and implementation of information and communication technologies in Ukraine still lags far behind the leading countries, this has a negative impact on the development of the economy, institutional structures and society.
 In connection with the identified problems, the need to develop a state strategy for the development of the information society and the use of information and IT are indicated.

Researchers focus on specific issues of information and communication technologies (ICT) implementation and general issues of the global knowledge economy without using a systematic approach to the main features of globalization, analysis of their impact on the socio-economic sphere of Ukraine and identifying risks to existing rates of IT implementation
Summary
Information technology (hereinafter — IT) is playing an increasing role in various aspects of human activity. According to [16], society is informational when: any citizen at any time and with automated access and modern communication can get the information or knowledge he needs; society produces modern IT technology that is accessible for any individual or a group of individuals; there are institutional infrastructures that allow to implement the country’s information resources to the extent that the desired pace of socio-economic processes is guaranteed; appropriate rates of information and technological transformation of all branches of production and spheres of management are provided; there are conditions for a radical change in social structures, resulting in the expansion of the information industry and services. This has an inverse multiplier effect on the development of the economy, institutional structures and society
