An exploratory study on the change of the indicators of quality of life in digital society

초록

This study explores Korea Development Indicators to assess the impact of digital transformation on society, particularly on individuals’ quality of life. It focuses on three major trends: the restructuring of sectors in society due to digital transformation, the promotion of emotional culture, and the emergence of a leisure-centric society. The findings suggest that to evaluate quality of life in a digital society, one must consider a wide array of influences, even those that lack sufficient data. The use of self-reported data as provisional indicators becomes essential. Incorporating digital technology-related variables into existing social surveys is vital to comprehend the impact of digital transition effectively. Additionally, developing new tools for measuring these effects is crucial, as current statistical survey methods struggle to handle the vast online data. Exploring alternative data collection methods capable of harnessing this information is essential for a comprehensive understanding of the topic.
