Abstract

The rapid development of the digital economy has created new opportunities for economic participation while simultaneously intensifying social inequality across different societal groups. This study aims to analyze the mechanisms and dimensions of social inequality in the digital economy through a contemporary sociological perspective and to propose an inclusive analytical framework. The research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach using a systematic literature review and document analysis of recent scholarly works and policy reports. Data were analyzed through an interactive model consisting of data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, supported by triangulation techniques to ensure validity. The findings reveal that digital inequality is driven by multiple interconnected factors, including the digital divide, labor market stratification, platform monopolies, and algorithmic bias. These mechanisms reinforce structural inequalities and create new forms of exclusion, particularly among marginalized groups. The discussion highlights that digital inequality must be understood as a multidimensional phenomenon shaped by technological, economic, and socio-cultural dynamics, requiring integrated and context-sensitive policy responses. In conclusion, addressing social inequality in the digital era requires a comprehensive and inclusive approach that combines equitable access, digital literacy, labor protection, and effective regulation of digital platforms to ensure sustainable and just digital transformation

Abstract

Social capital encompassing trust, social networks, and cooperative norms is widely recognized as a crucial yet unevenly distributed resource that shapes individuals' capacity for upward social mobility. This study investigates how different dimensions of social capital, specifically bonding, bridging, and linking capital, influence the social mobility trajectories of the middle class in contemporary society. Drawing on a systematic literature review and synthesis of quantitative and qualitative empirical evidence from diverse national contexts, including Indonesia, the United States, Brazil, Kenya, and Chile, this research maps the mechanisms through which social capital facilitates or constrains middle-class advancement. Three analytical pathways are identified: network-based opportunity access, educational capital conversion, and institutional trust as a mobility enabler. Findings reveal that bridging social capital cross-class heterogeneous networks demonstrates the strongest association with upward mobility, while bonding capital primarily serves stabilizing and resilience functions. Linking capital, representing access to institutional power, is shown to be critical but highly unequally distributed. This study contributes novelty by synthesizing multi-country evidence within a unified three-dimensional social capital framework, offering policy implications for expanding social capital access among aspiring middle-class populations.

Abstract

Digital transformation has fundamentally altered the structure and dynamics of the modern family, including the child-rearing patterns adopted by parents in the information technology era. This article examines the shifting patterns of child-rearing in digital families through the lens of contemporary family sociology. Using a systematic literature review approach, this study analyzes how the penetration of digital technology encompassing the internet, mobile devices, social media, and streaming platforms has reconfigured parental roles, mediation strategies, family communication, and the parenting values transmitted to children. The findings show that digital families face a dilemma between leveraging technology as a parenting resource and managing the risks of exposure to negative content, device addiction, and the fragmentation of face-to-face relationships. Parenting strategies are shifting from conventional authoritarian patterns toward active mediation and democratic digital co-regulation. The Indonesian context displays distinctive features, in which local cultural values, extended family structures, and urban–rural disparities shape significant variation in digital parenting patterns. The novelty of this study lies in its integration of parental mediation theory, Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory, and a contemporary family sociology perspective within a single, cohesive analytical framework for understanding the phenomenon of digital families in Indonesia

Abstract

The rise of viral culture on social media has fundamentally reshaped the formation of public opinion, creating what can be conceptualized as a “court of public opinion” in which individuals and institutions are collectively judged outside formal legal frameworks. This study aims to analyze how viral culture constructs public judgment through the interaction of algorithmic systems, emotional engagement, and participatory digital behavior. This research employs a qualitative approach using a systematic literature review (SLR) of peer-reviewed studies published between 2021 and 2026. Data were analyzed through thematic synthesis focusing on algorithmic amplification, emotional contagion, user participation, and institutional responses to viral events. The findings reveal that viral culture operates through interconnected mechanisms in which algorithmic visibility determines content exposure, emotional reactions accelerate diffusion, and participatory audiences reinforce collective moral evaluation. These processes produce significant consequences such as digital vigilantism, public shaming, cancel culture, and institutional pressure, where legal and political systems often respond reactively to viral public opinion. The study concludes that viral culture functions as a socio-technical judicial system that transforms social media into an informal court of public opinion, where visibility and emotional intensity often outweigh procedural justice. This phenomenon highlights the growing tension between digital publics and formal institutions in contemporary society.
