Understanding the Socioeconomic Impact of Digital Entrepreneurship in Developing Countries: A Qualitative Study

Abstract

This study explores the socioeconomic impact of digital entrepreneurship in developing countries, using a qualitative approach to explore the experiences of digital business actors. The findings show that digital entrepreneurship increases income and creates jobs, as well as supports social inclusion and community empowerment, especially for underrepresented groups. However, there are still significant obstacles such as access to capital and limited digital infrastructure that limit growth potential. The study recommends collaboration between the government and the private sector to improve internet access, provide financial support, and improve digital skills. The results of this research are expected to contribute to the development of literature on digital entrepreneurship and provide practical guidelines to support the growth of this sector in developing countries.
