In these circumstances, the effectiveness of public policy will depend on the correct projection of the future balance in the labour market and on the drivers that can affect the technological development, elimination or preservation of jobs. Based on correlation and regression analysis, the study examines the influence of various factors on the transformation of regional labour markets in the context of digitalisation. The conducted calculations revealed that the human capital and entrepreneurial activity in the region influence the labour market the most. The calculated coefficient of elasticity shows that when the share of students in the population increases by 1 %, the value of the variable of the share of IT employees in the total number of employees increases by 0.15 %. Increase in the ratio of small enterprises to the labour force by 1 unit shall increase the share of IT employees in the total number of employees by 0.002 %. However, at present, information and communication infrastructure is not a key factor in the development of labour market and new sectors, expanding opportunities for digital entrepreneurship, as well as online and offline training. Also, region’s innovative potential (level of business innovation in the regions by technological innovations) is not a significant indicator of the intensity of development of new economic sectors and the formation of a regional base of accumulated knowledge and competencies. It was concluded that for the developing economy of Kazakhstan, the improvement of information and communication infrastructure based on digital platforms is more rational for the labour market’s further development.</p></abstract><abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Изменения на рынке труда являются неизбежным результатом технологического прогресса. Эффективность государственной политики зависит от корректного прогноза баланса на рынке труда рабочей силы и от факторов, воздействующих на технологическое развитие, ликвидацию или сохранение рабочих мест. На основе корреляционно-регрессионного анализа проведено исследование влияния различных факторов на трансформацию региональных рынков труда в условиях цифровизации. Расчеты продемонстрировали, что человеческий капитал и предпринимательская активность в регионе оказывают наиболее существенное влияние на рынок труда. Рассчитанный коэффициент эластичности показывает, что при возрастании доли студентов в численности населения на 1 % значение переменной доли работников информационной сферы в общей численности занятых возрастает на 0,15 %. Увеличение показателя «отношение числа малых предприятий к рабочей силе» на 1 единицу приведет к увеличению показателя доли работников информационной сферы в общей численности занятых на 0,002 %. Однако в настоящее время информационно-коммуникационная инфраструктура не является ключевым фактором развития рынка труда и новых секторов, расширения возможностей для цифрового предпринимательства, а также онлайн- и офлайн-обучения. Также не является значимым показателем интенсивности развития новых секторов экономики и формирования региональной базы накопленных знаний и компетенций инновационный потенциал региона (уровень инновационной активности предприятий в регионах по технологическим инновациям). Сделан вывод, что для дальнейшего развития рынка труда развивающейся экономики Казахстана улучшение информационно-коммуникационной инфраструктуры на базе цифровых платформ является наиболее рациональным подходом.</p></abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>labour market</kwd><kwd>regional employment</kwd><kwd>digital economy</kwd><kwd>automation risks</kwd><kwd>digital infrastructure</kwd><kwd>digitalisation of industries</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>рынок труда</kwd><kwd>региональная занятость</kwd><kwd>цифровая экономика</kwd><kwd>риски автоматизации</kwd><kwd>цифровая инфраструктура</kwd><kwd>цифровизация отраслей</kwd></kwd-group></article-meta></front><body/><back><ack xml:lang="en"><p>The article has been prepared with the support of the Science Committee of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Grant No. AP09058009).</p></ack><ack xml:lang="ru"><p>Статья подготовлена при поддержке Комитета науки Министерства науки и высшего образования Республики Казахстан (грант № AP09058009).</p></ack><ref-list><ref id="en-ref1"><label>1</label><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Acemoglu, D. &amp; Restrepo, P.
