ANALYSIS OF THE IMPACT OF DIGITALIZATION ON LIFE PLANS AND VALUES OF YOUTH

Abstract

The article analyzes the impact of digitalization on life prospects, goals and values of young people. As an empirical basis for the study, the results of a sociological survey conducted in October – November 2021 in ten subjects of the Siberian Federal District are used. The task of the study is to study various aspects of the professional and life self-determination of young people. A total of 5092 respondents were interviewed. The survey participants are students of schools, institutions of primary and secondary vocational education, higher educational institutions, as well as representatives of the working youth of Siberia. One of the objectives of the study was to identify the dependence of life planning, goal setting and value orientation on the level of competencies in the digital sphere. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that for the first time, on the basis of factor analysis, an attempt was made to identify differences in the ideas of young people with different levels of digital literacy about life prospects, goals and conditions for achieving success. An analysis of the results of an empirical study showed the differentiation of the impact of digitalization on the life plans, values and goals of various groups of young people. It has been found that young people with a high level of digital competence demonstrate distant horizons of life planning, for them the most important life goal is to achieve professional success, and among the conditions that determine it, the most significant are intellectual factors, the availability of start-up capital, practical knowledge, skills and abilities.
