“…However, some scholars have argued against this, arguing that the development of the digital economy will lead to a decline in labor demand by reducing the value of current jobs, shortening the life cycle of jobs, and increasing the price of human capital, thus putting forward a second "substitution theory" view. Through theoretical analysis, Lishchuk et al pointed out that the development of the digital economy mainly leads to the reduction of labor demand through increased productivity, the application of intelligent and innovative technologies, and the change of industrial structure [28]. From the perspective of skill differences, Acemoglu and Restrepo discovered significant differences in the impact of the digital economy on the labor force with different skills, increasing the demand for high-skilled labor and decreasing the demand for low-skilled labor [29].…”

The practical implementation of the employment promotion effect of the digital economy is closely linked to rural laborers’ digital skills (DS). Therefore, this study uses the Mprobit model to empirically test the impact of DS on rural labor employment choices. The results show that: (1) the acquisition of DS by the rural labor force significantly increases the rate of off-farm employment and entrepreneurship but has no significant effect on farm employment, with work skills having the most significant positive impact on the rural labor force off-farm employment and online business skills having the most significant positive impact on rural labor force entrepreneurship. (2) The mechanism test reveals that DS influences the employment choices of the rural labor force by alleviating the information access constraint and financing constraints faced by rural labor. (3) Heterogeneity analysis shows that males and rural laborers in rich regions can benefit from entrepreneurship. In contrast, females and low-skilled and rural laborers in middle and poor regions can benefit more from off-farm employment. Our findings provide empirical evidence on effectively cultivating DS to increase the diversity of employment choices for the rural workforce and highlight the importance of improving DS.

“…These studies range from specific (mainly economic) facets of digitalization in rural areas, such as agriculture (Haggag, 2021) or the labor market (Lishchuk et al, 2021), to a broader perspective focused on digitalization and its impact on social life in rural areas (Meyn, 2020;Zerrer & Sept, 2020). Focusing on the context of German rural areas, several studies have been conducted looking at the general role of digitalization in rural areas and "digital social innovation" (DSI) more specifically (Sept, 2020;Zerrer & Sept, 2020).…”

Towards Digital Social Infrastructure? Digital Neighborly Connectedness as a Social Resource

Social infrastructure is made up of various material as well as non-material goods, ranging from venues for leisure such as movie theaters to indispensable everyday commodities, like sidewalks and streets. This is true both for urban and rural areas. However, the increasing emergence of digital aspects of social infrastructure has seemed to go unnoticed to some extent, with research specifically focusing on these digital aspects of social infrastructure being scarce at best—even though digitalization is currently a major emerging meta-development worldwide. The goal of our contribution is therefore to investigate the digital sphere and integrate it into the concept of social infrastructure. Drawing on descriptive findings from a multi-sited, community-based survey of residents in four rural areas in Germany (N = 413) as well as from 40 qualitative interviews, we present an integrative and expanded conceptualization of what we term a tangible <em>digital social infrastructure</em>. To do so, we examine digital neighborly connectedness as a social resource during the Covid-19 pandemic as a case study. We argue that digital neighborly connectedness served as both an integral part of on-site social infrastructure and as a social resource, especially during pandemic times. We discuss our results in light of current research on social infrastructure, with a specific focus on the scope of what counts as social infrastructure, as well as current discourse on social infrastructure in rural areas.

“…Scientists (EICHHORST et al, 2017) have analyzed the transformation of occupations and forms of employment, as well as the role of the platform's economy, including the phenomenon of self-employment. The authors of the article (LISHCHUK et al, 2021) consider the institutional, infrastructural and technological aspects of digitalization in rural areas, and also predict that a change of profession will require employees to acquire additional competencies in demand in the digital economy. The article (VASILESCU et al, 2020) examines the impact of digitalization on the economy, society and quality of life associated with significant challenges in the labour market.…”

The article investigates the risks of transforming labour relations in Ukraine under the influence of digitalization processes. The relationship of the digital economy with the processes taking place in the social and labour sphere is substantiated, its impact on the state of the labor market is assessed. Positive effects of automation application are affected, and the negative consequences of digitalization in the HR sphere. The risks of rotors and employees are addressed by the issues of the impact of digital technologies and automation on social and labour relations. It is argued that in the context of increasing remote, remote work, the work rings to comply with the principle of permanence. Works become inherent in the principles of episodicity, individualism. It is determined that the result of episodic labour relations may be the risk of non-payment of taxes on the income of workers, non-receipt of funds to the budget, loss of a significant part of taxes received from the incomes of the population, and therefore - a decrease in the base of financing social functions of the state.
