Transformation of the life strategies of student youth in the context of digitalization of everyday life
In the modern information society, the process of digitalization has become a key factor determining the dynamics of social changes, having a profound impact on the lifestyle, value system, and behavioral strategies of various social groups. The relevance of this study is due to the need to identify the nature and direction of changes in the social practices of student youth caused by the digitalization process. The empirical basis of the study includes a vast array of data obtained from a comprehensive sociological survey conducted among students in the city of Oryol in 2023. Quantitative methods of questioning were used to objectively reflect the diversity of views, attitudes, and behavioral reactions of young people to the digitalization of their environment. The purpose of this work is to comprehensively study the transformation of social strategies among students in the context of digitalization of everyday life, identify key trends and patterns of this process, and determine possible directions for further development of social relations in a digitalized society. The study aimed to analyze the attitudes of young people towards digital technologies, determine their level of digital literacy, examine their behavioral practices in the digital environment, and identify existing problems and contradictions associated with digitalization. The scientific significance of the study lies in an in-depth understanding of the nature of social changes that occur under the influence of digitalization, which allows us to expand the theoretical foundations of youth sociology and the informatization of society. The practical significance is determined by the possibility of using the obtained results to develop effective educational programs aimed at improving the digital literacy of young people, as well as to formulate state policy in the field of digitalization of education and the social sphere.
