"Digitalization creates prerequisites for a radical paradigm shift in social structure, changing people's consciousness and their worldview. The digital economy forces society to evolve from the solidarity relations of the industrial age to individualized, fragmented, unstable, often virtual relations. An increasing number of jobs may be at risk of closure, and workers freed up by digitalization may become not only unemployed, but redundant altogether. How to ensure their socialization in modern society and how to support them? This book may be useful for undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students and researchers studying human capital development, the digital economy, globalization, the release of workers and unemployment. It may also be useful for practitioners dealing with corporate human capital management issues"
