48 In capital-intensive sectors, such as industry and construction, productivity is largely independent of employment fluctuations. In inclusive sectors, such as trade, transportation, and food, employment growth is often accompanied by productivity growth. In summary, we can say that digitalization processes have greatly affected the employment structure of Armenia, directing the labor force towards sectors with high productivity. Structural shifts are most favorable for young and highly qualified people. On the other hand, digitalization processes have not mitigated the gender and territorial imbalance in employment. In order to ensure a competitive workforce and effective employment, it is necessary to: • adapt the education system to the changing requirements of the digital labor market. • Increase the qualification of the workforce through training programs, creating opportunities for their reallocation to high-productivity sectors. • Reduce gender disparities in employment through digital inclusion among women. • It is necessary to develop regional digital inclusion programs, provide digital infrastructure in villages, and promote digital education in order to balance the employment level in the regions.
