Digital economy and new indicators of social development of Kazakhstan

A key guideline for the development of Kazakhstan in the near future is the transition to a digital economy as an «input step» to a new technological way. According to forecasts of one of the most successful international consulting companies Accenture, by 2020, a quarter of the world economy will be digital. Digital technologies by their nature are able to quickly penetrate the economy, change the forms of organization of production, by increasing labor productivity, society’s income and, accordingly, create conditions for improving the quality of life of the population. Kazakhstan can achieve success in this due to the availability of all resource advantages. However, a restraining factor, as shown by the practice of implementing many state programs, may be a deficit of social capital - i.e. a social environment, created by the interrelationships between government, business and citizens; relations of transparency and trust, interests and responsibility. The indicators of social capital development are education and labour. The labor market requires new specialists competent not only in industry but also in information technologies. An indispensable condition for the success of digital transformation is the «advanced» social environment, its readiness to perceive rapid changes, the professional maturity of specialists not only developers of information programs, but also users. Therefore, rapid reaction to the requirements of digital transformation of all stakeholders, the entire social environment: government, enterprises, markets, education, the population is necessary.
