Transformation of the Vocational Training System in the Conditions of Digitalization of The Labor Market

Abstract

This article presents the main trends of changes in the labor market related to the process of digitalization. The main problems related to the issues of labor productivity growth, job cuts and ensuring effective demand are also considered. In the article, we propose to consider the process of digitalization as a way to encourage creativity in the workplace, taking into account the fact that in order to establish a modern economic order, during which services become the main product, and digital platforms and ecosystems are the main actors in the global economy. Particular attention is paid to changes in the labor market during the period of mass digitalization. When labor market and wage reforms began in the world, it was hard to imagine that the labor market would change so quickly in a few decades. A comparative analysis of the state of the labor market in Russia was carried out, which made it possible to determine the phases and types of reproduction of labor potential “narrowed”, “expanded”, “simple”, depending on the age and structure of education. The segment of the “black hole” in specialists with competencies in the digital economy is highlighted. The directions of creating an ecosystem of continuing education are proposed, which allow forming digital competencies and supporting the reproduction of labor potential during the life cycle of society. Digitization of the economy has been a global trend in the last decade and more significantly over the past five years.
