Analysis of the development of the economy digitalization monitoring system
Abstract
The current stage in the development of the world community is characterized by high rates of development of digital technologies and their practical implementation in many areas of life. The purpose of the paper is the analysis of the system for monitoring for the development of the information society and the digital economy, both in the Russian Federation and abroad. The role of international organizations in creating methodological foundations for the study of the implementation of information technology has been revealed in the article. The chronology of the development and implementation of the main regulatory documents, on the basis of which data is being collected on countries and their comparison, has been considered. Particular attention to the study of Russia’s place in the ratings compiled by various international organizations has been paid. A system of indicators of a national system for monitoring the development of the digital economy has been adduced, which reflects the development factors of the information society and the use of information and communication technologies. The dynamics of the gross value added of the ICT sector of the Russian economy and the number of people employed in the information and communication technologies sector have been analysed. Significant variability in the intensity of the dynamics indicators, reflecting various aspects of the development of the information society, as well as a significant lag of Russia from the leading countries in certain areas of the ICT sector, have been identified. It has been shown that the key task aimed at correcting this situation is to improve the investment climate in the information and communication technologies sector. At the same time, the imperfection of the methodology for monitoring the development of the information society and the digital economy does not allow us to take timely measures to regulate digitalization processes. It has been concluded that it is necessary to continue work on improving indicators for monitoring the implementation of the government program “Digital Economy of the Russian Federation”.
