Abstract

This paper employs Cite Space to conduct a visual analysis of relevant literature from 2006 to 2026. The findings indicate that domestic research themes have shifted from conceptual discussions to multi-scenario applications, showing a converging trend with youth employment studies, though the integration remains superficial. International research efforts are concentrated in developed countries in Europe and America. Significant gaps exist in mechanism research within the related field. Future research needs to deepen the exploration of the specific pathways through which digital literacy affects employment and strengthen localized empirical testing.
