Transformation of China’s Labor Market Under the Impact of Digitalization and Population Aging

DOI: 10.33917/es-2.206.2026.52-57

China’s labour market is experiencing dual structural pressure caused by accelerated economy digitalization and the deepening population aging. On the one hand, technological progress is transforming professions, stimulating growth of the gig economy and changing work values. On the other hand, decline in the share of young workers and growing number of elderly citizens are creating staff shortage and increasing productivity requirements. The present article analyses combined impact of these trends, examines adaptation mechanisms at the enterprise and public policy levels and draws conclusions about transformation of the labour market towards greater flexibility, automation and increased human capital value.

Classification of digital factors influencing labor productivity: a systems approach at the macro-, meso-, and micro-levels

DOI: 10.33917/es-6.204.2025.50-55

The article examines the role of digital factors in enhancing labor productivity as one of the key elements of technological and economic development. Using the example of the Kyrgyz Republic, it demonstrates that the implementation of digital technologies and the development of digital infrastructure contribute to improving efficiency; however, without the simultaneous modernization of fixed assets and the training of qualified personnel, the effect of digitalization remains limited. The article also proposes the creation of an integrated model of digital factors influencing labor productivity at the macro, meso, and micro levels, which would enable a more comprehensive assessment and management of digital transformation processes.

Classification of Artificial Intelligence Tools for the Purpose of Electronic Auctions

DOI: 10.33917/es-4.202.2025.70-77

The article dwells on the essence of artificial intelligence as a mathematical model used to automate human cognitive activity. The author identifies practical tasks that can be solved with the help of the above technology, such as automation of routine business processes, marketing offers personalization, fraud detection, management decision-making support and others. Industries where artificial intelligence is actively used are studied, including healthcare, finance, retail, manufacturing, energy and telecommunications. Special attention is paid to specific examples of applying ar tificial intelligence in auctions, in particular in real estate, energy, online advertising and distribution of computing resources. The author reveals auction models, their essence and areas of application, such as online auctions, programmatic adver tising, spot electricity markets, financial markets and government procurement.

The article analyzes the prospects for introducing artificial intelligence-based tools into auctions in the context of fur ther digitalization of the Russian economy and potential benefits of their application, such as increased profits, optimized use of resources, reduced labour costs and other operating costs.

Theoretical and Applied Aspects of Creating Optimal Quality Indicators for Technical Vision in the Scientific Works of I.L. Geykhman

DOI: 10.33917/es-6.198.2024.124-129

The article dwells on theoretical foundations and practical approaches to the creation of optimal quality indicators of technical vision in the scientific works of Professor I.L. Geykhman. Currently, technical vision systems (TVS) based on optical-electronic devices (OED) operating in conditions of low illumination of objects and facilities are becoming increasingly widespread. These TVS are intended to solve global problems of science and technology. Interest in the topic under consideration is related to the relevance of solving the problem of increasing labour productivity, as well as the need to prevent injuries during underground and open-pit mining, identifying modern capabilities and prospects for production automation based on technical vision tools.
