Abstract

The transition to the digital economy has a significant impact on the labor market, due to a large-scale transformation of requirements for specialists and improving the efficiency of the labor market. In modern conditions, digital technologies are permeating all spheres of life and activities of our society and have become one of the main trends in the development of all economic and social systems. The article notes that the structure of Russian labor market has been gradually changing in recent years. Today, vacancies that were not relevant a few years ago are becoming popular. Among the main problems of the labor market in Russia, the authors single out unemployment and improper use of labor. Unemployment is characterized by heterogeneity, strong differentiation by industry, employment and territories. Analysis of statistics on changes in the number of unemployed and employed persons aged 15–72 years in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation over the past 10 years (put forward in the study) shows that unemployment is characterized by an uneven distribution of unemployed people across regions. As a result, the conclusion is presented that digital transformation carries not only great opportunities within the framework of the development of the modern labor market, but also entails a number of negative consequences: job cuts, due to the displacement of manual labor by machine labor, in addition, the speed of transformation of the labor market is so high, that it becomes very difficult to plan and predict the need for labor resources for almost all sectors of the economy. The increase in the share of informal (unformed) labor relations in the digital economy, contributing to the growth of social insecurity of workers, is also a rather serious negative consequence of digitalization.
