“…The results of the Granger causality test confirmed that the relationship between the digital economy and human development tended to be primarily from human development to the digital economy, not the other way around. That is, human development explains the development of the digital economy, which may be mainly due to the development of education, in line with Podgorny and Volokhova [48]. The results also highlight the importance of the oil economy in achieving human development in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia compared to the digital economy.…”

The digital economy is reshaping the global economic landscape, with advancements in artificial intelligence, robotics, and virtual reality revolutionizing industries and transforming how people work and live. While the digital economy has promise in terms of improving human capital development, for example, through increased access to education and healthcare services, it also presents challenges, such as job displacement and income inequality. This study aims to evaluate the impact of the digital economy on human development indicators in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, seeking to understand how it influences education, health, and income levels. This paper provides valuable insights for policymakers seeking to enhance the Kingdom’s position in the global human development race by examining the relationship between the digital economy and human development using econometric models. This paper analyzes data from the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program to measure the impact of the digital economy on sustainable human development indicators. The findings show that while the digital economy has negligible or negative influence on other human development indicators, it has a limited beneficial impact on education in the long run. In addition, attaining sustainable human development—which is consistent with Vision 2030—requires expanding the economy beyond the oil sector and fostering scientific and technological progress.

The purpose of this study is to examine how to enhance the critical thinking of young people through digital literacy skills. Furthermore, the ability to think critically is seen from the perspective of building active participation in general elections in Indonesia. A literature review was used as the research approach in this study. The results show that based on the challenges of digital life, the younger generation falls into two categories: objects and subjects in general elections. The dominant key to the success of digital literacy lies in the ownership of digital literacy skills, more specifically leading to critical thinking in responding to all events in the general election phenomenon in Indonesia. The design of the digital literacy-based democracy movement includes viral party centers, online forums, digital party organizations, online campaigns, and online protests. Critical thinking in generating active participation in elections includes several elements: digital skills, ethics, safety, and culture. So that the output of active participation is in the form of supporting general elections, monitoring, channellings vote correctly, and being responsible.

The article presents the results of a research aimed at identifying the level of proficiency in the use of ICT tools (ICT skill levels) among employed and unemployed and also generational groups (youth, middle and older generation), as well as identifying the quality of employment and income depending on the level of ICT skills of employed and their generational groups. The author’s classification of the ICT skills levels is presented and, on its basis, a quantitative identification of the ICT skills levels among the employed and unemployed is carried out. It was found that among the employed, 40.5% have the ICT skills required for work, including 1.8% are distinguished by the presence of specialized skills corresponding to the third (highest) level, the remaining 59.5% have basic ICT skills. Among the unemployed, compared to the employed, the share of those with only basic ICT skills not related to professional activity (75.1%) is significantly higher, while the share of those with the third (highest) (0.9%) and second (24.0%) the level of ICT skills, on the contrary, is lower relative to the employed. Generational differences in the levels of ICT skills among employed and unemployed were revealed. Among the youth, the proportion of those who possess the highest ICT skills and have realized their labor potential is higher than for the employed as a whole and their other generational groups. Estimates of the distribution of employed and their generational groups according to the level of income from the main employment, determined on the basis of original system of social standards, depending on the level of ICT skills, are obtained. As a result of the research, it was revealed that a higher level of ICT skills increases the chances of realizing the existing labour potential. Meanwhile, as higher the level of ICT skills, the greater chances of “converting” them into higher incomes due to employment. It is shown that implementation of labour potential in the labour market with a higher level of ICT skills determines lower risks of reducing the quality of employment, and also increases the chances for employed people to ensure higher standards of material prosperity in their households.
