A Bibliometric Analysis of Ageing Literature: Global and Asia-Pacific Trends

Abstract

<p>The ageing population has been considered the dominant demographic phenomenon of this millennium that equally affects both developed and developing nations alike. Given that the Asia Pacific region has been ageing more rapidly than at any time in history, this chapter examines the body of literature on "ageing" by mapping the prevalent themes of research, research hotspots, and influential stake-holders. The findings have implications for researchers into ageing as well as policymakers across countries included in this volume and beyond.</p>
