Abstract

The article focuses on the impact of digital transformation on social mobility and human capital development in the context of the digital economy and labor market transformations. The research aims to systematize modern approaches to digital social mobility, define its types and influencing factors, substantiate the role of human capital in ensuring the professional growth of employees, as well as analyze the practices of digitizing learning and career development processes in human capital management. The research utilizes general scientific methods, systemic and comparative analysis methods, generalization, graphical modeling, and case analysis of international companies. The result of the research was the definition of the categorical apparatus of digital mobility, the development of a classification of its types — digital social, professional, educational, and economic mobility, the identification of factors influencing social mobility in the digital environment, as well as an analysis of labor market transformation under the influence of digital technologies. Best practices of applying digital platforms and reengineering business processes in employee training and career management were generalized. Recommendations for implementing digital tools to enhance the effectiveness of human capital development were formed. The scientific novelty of the research lies in the deepening of the theoretical and methodological foundations of digital social mobility, improving the classification of its types, and developing a conceptual model of reengineering the processes of learning and career development in the context of digital transformation. The practical significance of the results lies in the possibility of applying the proposed approaches to developing HR strategies for digital transformation, increasing employee mobility, and forming competitive human capital in the modern labor market.
