metadata.value: The article discusses changes in the nature of the employed population’s labor behavior associated
  with the pandemic and the spread of working remotely. The main goal of the article is to identify
  the effects of digitalization on workers’ labor. These effects of digitalization are revealed in
  the collective perceptions and assessments of workers of their individual abilities and capabilities
  in the development and use of digital technologies for the performance of professional tasks and
  career advancement in the open labor market. The article examines the effects of digitalization
  in the context of the massive spread of remote labor during the pandemic from a comparative
  perspective. It covers the working population of two large cities of the Union State — St. Petersburg
  and Minsk. The empirical analysis of the collective opinions of workers is based on data collected
  in two telephone surveys conducted in February — March 2021. The results of the study
  showed that the population of the two cities responded in a similar way to the massive spread of
  remote work. The main result of changes in labor during the pandemic was a significant increase
  in fears and difficulties in using Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) among
  those workers who continued traditional work, and more than a twofold increase in the motivation
  to study digital technologies among all employed in the economy. At the same time, both
  in St. Petersburg and in Minsk, the maximum has been reached in terms of development of the
  remote mode of work. Also, in the process of technological renewal, the most vulnerable categories
  of workers (those who experience the greatest difficulties in mastering and using ICT) are
  identified. Determining which category will be the weakest depends largely on regional specifics
  of the organization and regulation of labor. However, one group finds itself in a persistently negative
  position — those with low incomes.
