The rapid diffusion of digital technologies has become one of the key drivers of socio-economic development in modern society. Digital transformation affects economic growth, labor markets, social institutions, public administration, and the quality of life of the population. This article examines digital technologies as a systemic factor of socio-economic development, analyzes their impact on economic efficiency and social progress, and identifies key challenges associated with digitalization. Special attention is paid to the problem of digital inequality and institutional adaptation. The paper formulates the main tasks related to the effective integration of digital technologies into socio-economic systems and proposes possible ways to solve them, including policy measures, investment in human capital, and the development of digital infrastructure.
