Human Capital Development and Digital Skills as Drivers of Labor Market Adaptation in the Digital Economy

This thesis analyzes the contribution of human capital and digital skills to labor market adaptation in the digital economy. Based on systematic conceptual analysis, it distinguishes foundational digital literacy, occupation-specific competencies, and transferable analytical capabilities. The study examines how changing workplace tasks generate skills mismatches and why continuous training requires coordination between employers and education providers. A conceptual framework is proposed for linking competency assessment, modular learning, and employment outcomes. Recommendations focus on demand-oriented reskilling, verifiable skill acquisition, and inclusive access to lifelong learning.
