Abstract: Today, all developments under the heading of technology have facilitated the integration of countries with the global economy. In particular, developments in information and communication technology increase the accessibility of companies to their external environment and enable them to capture many advantages regarding their activities. Electronic commerce (e-commerce), which enables trade to be multidimensional and more effective, makes it easier for companies to get their share from the global market. E-commerce activities are directly affected by the effectiveness of the economic, social and administrative structures of countries, as well as triggering economic growth and accelerating social development. Because the developments in information and communication technology offer new job opportunities and provide the emergence of new professions. At this point, the main concern is how e-commerce has and will affect employment. While there are those who think that e-commerce causes job losses, there are opinions that it increases employment. However, one thing is clear that in parallel with these developments, the supply of trained personnel with technical equipment should grow at the same pace. From this point of view, the aim of the study is to reveal the effects of increasing e-commerce activities on employment and to increase awareness about economic and social losses if the developments are not followed.
