Abstrak

The progress of a country is related to the development of a country, which is largely determined by the quality of human resources. The quality of human resources is certainly greatly influenced by the quality of education in a country. In order to realize this progress, education that is in line with the improvement of the welfare of graduates in higher education is urgently needed. Human resource development must be the top priority to achieve the expected goals, one of the paths to resource development that can be done through entrepreneurship education among students in higher education. This article conducts a bibliometric analysis of the literature on research trends of poverty and income inequality to economic growth to gain in-depth insights into relevant research focuses, trends, and scientific contributions. Through a bibliometric analysis approach, 461 publication articles accessed on November 6, 2024 that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed using tools such as Microsoft Excel, Publish or Perish, and Vosviewer. After restrictions were made for the last 10 years (2015-2024), 390 articles were obtained, after which restrictions were placed on document types, 310 articles were obtained, and finally limited to articles in English, 304 articles were obtained which will be a reference in writing this article.  The results show that the interest and focus of research on poverty, income inequality to economic growth has increased significantly, reaching a peak in 2023 as many as 55 documents or 18.1% of the results of scientific research in the field of entrepreneurship studies. This trend reflects the awareness of the importance of understanding and developing entrepreneurship education for students at the university level, with the hope that the knowledge of entrepreneurship education can be developed later after they complete their studies at university.
