Description
Summary:•Social Partners plays a vital role in the Industrial and Social Ecosystem.•They need to overcome their digitalization challenge.•The process will allow them to use the Net and SSNN most properly. In the context of the new Digital Economy, defined by the massive dissemination of information and commercial content on the Internet and by the new relationship rules established with the development of Social Networks, we can find a set of institutions that have an active role in the rules defined in the Industrial; Social Ecosystem, as well as in the articulation of the necessary policies for the generation of labor and economic development. These entities, defined in this area as Social Partners (Governments, Business Associations, and Trade Unions), need to adapt their traditional strategies to this new context, in which both mobilization and social dialog are digitized. This research studies the level of digitization of these social partners in fifteen countries with a high level of Human Development, as per the UNPD Human Development Index (HDI) Ranking, by carrying out a Principal Components Analysis (PCA) to present a series of results on their respective levels of digital development. In order to set a measuring tool, a model of Digital Development Indicator is provided to the study. [Display omitted] Source: Own Elaboration
