Technological infrastructure plays a critical role in a country’s development and progress, enabling economic growth, innovation, and improving citizens’ quality of life. This study explores the potential of digital entrepreneurship and digital transformation in reducing unemployment in Oman. With the increasing reliance on digital technologies, governments need to invest in technological infrastructure that can meet the evolving needs of society. This study investigates the potential of digital entrepreneurship and digital transformation in reducing unemployment in Oman. This study highlights the importance of technological infrastructure in enabling economic growth and improving citizens’ quality of life. The findings indicate that digital entrepreneurship offers equal opportunities for both genders, potentially empowering women in entrepreneurship and addressing unemployment challenges. Additionally, the study shows a positive relationship between age and digital entrepreneurship aspirations. To foster entrepreneurship, the study suggests empowering young job seekers with digital knowledge and enabling graduates to create new opportunities for businesses and entrepreneurs. The study found significant effects of “Unemployment in the Sultanate of Oman (reasons and solutions)” on occupation, as indicated by a between-group sum of squares of 8.773, two degrees of freedom, and a mean square of 4.387, with an F value of 11.274, and a significance level of 0.000. On the other hand, the “Digital Entrepreneurship Sector” significantly affected occupation, with a between-groups sum of squares of 4.394, two degrees of freedom, and a mean square of 2.197, and an F value of 10.267 with a significance level of 0.000. Similarly, for the “Entrepreneurship Digital Infrastructure” variable, there was no significant difference between male and female mean scores (t = −1.516, df = 206, p = 0.131). Overall, the results indicate that the digital entrepreneurship sector significantly impacts occupation, while the entrepreneurship digital infrastructure has no significant effect. Additionally, female respondents showed a higher mean score in perceptions of “Unemployment in the Sultanate of Oman (reasons and solutions)” compared to male respondents.

“…Most developing countries are facing "youth unemployment" which is a contemporary issue in all developing and under-developed countries, government, academic institutes and researchers are focusing on managing a high population without poverty [1]. The use of up-to-date technology helps in increasing the efficiency of production, decreases load from labor and the objective can be achieved in a short time [2]. University students are not given the concept of entrepreneurship but since childhood parents teach them to achieve an extraordinary salaried job because of which their intention develops of becoming a job seeker instead of a job creator [3].…”

The backdated research dedicated to digital entrepreneurship education is immense, which makes it difficult to create an overview. Conversely, forward-thinking bibliometric visualization mapping and clustering can assist in visualizing and structuring difficult research literature. Hence, the goal of this mapping visualization study is to thoroughly discover and create clusters of EE to convey a taxonomic structure that can oblige as a basis for upcoming research. The analyzed data, which is drawn from Google Scholar through Publish or Perish tool, contain 1000 documents published between 2007 and 2022. This taxonomy should generate stronger bonds with digital entrepreneurial education research; on the other, it should stand in international research association to boost both interdisciplinary digital entrepreneurial education and its influence on a universal basis. This work strengthens student’s understanding of current digital entrepreneurial education research by classifying and decontaminating the most powerful knowledgeable relationship among its contributions and contributors. The bibliographic analysis includes ‘citation network’, ‘author’s research area’ and ‘paper content’ regarding the desired topic. In this paper, the above three mentioned terms are integrated which produces a bibliographic model of authors, titles of their papers, keywords and abstract by using Harzing’s Publish or Perish tool for extracting data from Google Scholar and further using VOSViewer to visualize networking map of co-authorship and term co-occurrence to administer the data for an instinctive and appropriate understanding of university students concerning ‘digital entrepreneurial intention’ research. This paper uses bibliometric analysis to analyze the keyword co-occurrence and co-authorship and VOSViewer is used for visualization.

“…According to the recent report of the W. B. G. E. P (2020) although these fast-growing microenterprises accounted for 3% to 20% of the industries "including manufacturing and services", they have generated more than 50% of new jobs in the services sector (2020,2020). It is evident across the world economies that entrepreneurship stimulates the economic growth in emerging economies including many countries in Latin America (Bosma et al, 2018;Ehrlich et al, 2017;Hamdani, 2006;Singh & Maurya, 2020;Urbano et al, 2019;Willis et al, 2020) and Africa [8][9]. To that end, entrepreneurship offers a long-lasting solution to the persistent unemployment problem that triggers other problems such as resource wastage, reduction in incomes, and shrinking economies, etc.…”

Self-employment skills (also known as entrepreneurship) play a vital role in the economic development of a country, thus should be given enough attention while designing business education programs. The purpose of this study is to investigate the predictors of self-employment behavior amongst business students in Pakistan. In this regard, the impact of entrepreneurial education, business incubation programs, students' entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and social entrepreneurial attitude on students' entrepreneurial intention and behavior was examined. Also, the moderating role of psychological empowerment on the relationship between self-employment intention and self-employment behavior was analyzed. A total of 542 valid responses were collected through a self-administrative questionnaire from business students in the public universities in Pakistan. The data were analyzed through partial least square structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) by using smart PLS 3.0 software. The findings show that entrepreneurial education, business incubation programs, entrepreneurial self-efficacy, and social entrepreneurial attitude significantly and positively influence self-employment intention which in turn positively predicts self-employment behavior. Whilst, the moderating role of psychological empowerment between self-employment intention and behavior was not confirmed. Based on the findings, theoretical and practical implications have been discussed to help the policymakers, government institutions, and universities to
