This article examines the role of digital technology in creating employment opportunities for youth in Indonesia using a qualitative literature review. Indonesia faces persistent challenges with youth unemployment and high rates of Not in Education, Employment, or Training (NEET) status among young people, even as it experiences rapid growth in the digital economy. The review synthesizes existing literature to explore the mechanisms by which digital technologies— including e-commerce platforms, gig economy applications, and digital entrepreneurship—create employment opportunities for Indonesian youth. The analysis identifies key enablers, such as human capital development, digital infrastructure expansion, and supportive policy frameworks, while also examining barriers, including skills gaps, the digital divide, gender inequalities, and inadequate worker protections. The findings suggest that while digital technology offers substantial potential for employment creation, realizing inclusive benefits requires coordinated multi-stakeholder efforts to address skills development, equitable access, and appropriate regulatory frameworks. This review contributes to the understanding of digital employment dynamics in emerging economies and provides insights for policymakers, practitioners, and researchers engaged in youth employment and digital development.
