Анотація

The trends in the formation of the digital society are studied, and Ukraine’s readiness to implement digitalization processes is determined. The article is aimed at assessing Ukraine’s position among other states in the digital competitiveness index based on comparative rating analysis, and identifying trends in the development of digitalization in Ukraine’s society and economy. Based on a comparative rating analysis of Ukraine's position in the world as for its digitalization of society and economy, it is determined that Ukraine ranks low in its digital competitiveness as compared to advanced countries, but belongs to the group of promising countries currently characterized by a low digitalization level but tending to increase their pace of digital development. Based on the cluster analysis, countries are grouped into four clusters according to their development of digital processes, and not only Ukraine's place among them is identified, but also cluster migration is analyzed, as well as positive and negative trends in digitalization processes. The general features of information society development, specific for the countries in each individual cluster, are determined. Characteristic features of two scenarios for the digitalization of national society are suggested, i.e. the evolutionary and forced ones, and it is proved that the formation of a developed digital economy in Ukraine requires systematic state support for implementing digital tools in public life, and focus on the forced (target) scenario for digital development processes.
