Digital trends and workforce: analysis of relations

The article deals with the problems of the current stage of development of the Russian economy, associated with the digitalization of business processes. Digitalization gives rise to a number of problems, including those related to the efficiency of labor resources. In particular, digital competencies in modern conditions are considered as obligatory for mastering by all citizens. The aim of the study is to identify the relationship between the digitalization of the economy and labor resources. To achieve this goal, the authors disclosed the possible negative consequences of digitalization (the positive consequences are obvious and described in detail in numerous sources, therefore they were not considered), and ways to overcome them were proposed. The performed analysis suggests that one of the factors hindering the digitalization of socio-economic processes in Russia is the lack of digital competence of labor resources. To solve this problem, it is proposed to change approaches to the implementation of educational activities both within the framework of the education system itself and in-house training. It is recommended to focus specifically on in-house training, since only it allows the formation of those digital competencies that can be attributed to specific assets that increase the competitiveness of both enterprises and labor resources.
