The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the digitalization across various sectors, resulting in significant transformations in economic and social life. This shift has led to a decrease in the demand for human resources in business and necessitated a restructuring of the traditional employment model. During the pandemic, certain segments benefited from owning digital technologies, while others remained unfamiliar with the new digital world due to their lack of access, highlighting disparities in opportunity on individual and societal levels.

While this rapid change has brought about positive outcomes, it has also introduced risks. To address these emerging challenges, The New Digital Eras, a two-volume set, aims to provide valuable insights into the advantages and risks associated with digitalization, particularly in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. The chapter authors emphasize the need for new social and economic policies to balance the effects on social and economic life and prevent potential conflicts between individuals and societies.
