Resumo: The article examines the conceptual aspects of the essence of the digital economy, the prerequisites for its development and its basic elements. In spite of widespread international recognition of the digital economy as a scientific category and as a mainstream of global development, a generally accepted approach to its methodological foundations has not been formed in expert circles. The authors have found out some common positions in respect of digital technologies, which are considered in modern conditions as a driving force for accelerating economic growth and increasing labor productivity, as well as an infrastructure component of the national innovation system of the government. The article defines non-digital factors of digital economy development, including state policy, legislative framework, human capital and the system of fundamental and applied research. Based on the analysis of statistical data and development forecasts, the authors assess tendencies in the development of the digital economy, as well as possible negative consequences for the socio-economic development of Russia. It is shown that digitalization and particularly the formation of Industry 4.0 will significantly change the existing employment relations, lead to reviewing the system of education and personnel training and reshape the system of social protection of citizens.
