“…It is complicated to replace an Indian with Omani in one job. An Indian can be asked to stay for two years working night and day especially in an oil site in the desert for thirty-five riyals per month, while Omanis are difficult to restrict to do the same (Ali & Alani, 2017). Therefore, they would prefer to pay an Omani and ask him to stay at home and keep the Indian working.…”

This study aims to shed light on the situation of unemployment in the Sultanate of Oman in the context of the global and national economic shift toward digital technology. In this study, the topic of youth unemployment was examined from a variety of angles, such as social perception, the cost of migrants, and the effect of the digital economy on employment opportunities. The mild impact of gender on the variables under investigation is also examined in this research. The study has applied the quantitative approach. The data was collected from Omani youths through the adopted questionnaire. A total of 312 responses were received for further analysis SPSS and Partial Least Squares (PLS) were used to analyse the data. This study demonstrated how social perception has a significant impact on Omani youth. Youth unemployment is also strongly impacted by the cost of migrant labor. As well as, the digital economy is significantly influencing youth employment opportunities. On the other hand, the association between social perception and unemployment among Omani youth is considerably influenced by the mild effect of gender. This study contributes significantly to the current knowledge of the factors influencing unemployment in the Sultanate of Oman. The research models may also be used to establish new initiatives, develop programs, and establish policies on the labour market to reduce the unemployment rate among the youth of the Sultanate of Oman.
