Date : 2022-04-04 Writer : Yeo Yeong-jun

This report focuses on the potential opportunities and risks underlying rapid digital transformation and technological changes and potential issues that may arise from the gap between technological changes and the socio-economic system. As a strategic future forecast study, the report identified the mid- to long-term socio-economic impacts of environmental changes in the future digital transformation era and provided policy implications for responding to the digital transformation era.

The analysis has revealed that if the institutional and political environments do not evolve in line with the pace of technological change, potential side effects resulting from the bias of technological change in the era of digital transformation can be amplified, leading to polarization in the labor market and worsening income inequality. As a future vision for the digital transformation era, it proposes a “creative learning” innovative system that promotes interaction between the supply and demand of jobs (skills) in the race between digital transformation technology and learning.
