DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION AND THE EVOLUTION OF EMPLOYMENT MODELS: CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR EMERGING ECONOMIES

This thesis examines how digital transformation reshapes employment models in emerging economies. Using conceptual and comparative analysis, it distinguishes changes in workplace tasks, digital job matching, and the governance of employment relationships. Particular attention is paid to remote work and platform-mediated employment, including opportunities for labor market participation and risks related to contractual uncertainty and social protection. The study proposes an analytical framework linking technological adoption, institutional readiness, and job quality. It outlines policy priorities for improving workforce adaptability and inclusive employment outcomes.
