Title: | Ageing population and society: a scientometric analysis | Contributor(s): | Mahmood, Muhammad N (author); Dhakal, Subas P (author) | Publication Date: | 2023-08 | Open Access: | Yes | DOI: | 10.1007/s11135-022-01509-3 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/55114 | Abstract: | The ageing population and society (APS) nexus is one of the key grand challenges of this millennium. And yet, the systematic analysis of scholarly literature on the APS nexus has remained under the radar. This study responds to this gap and employs a quantitative approach through a scientometric analysis of literature on the APS nexus to inform policy discussions and guide future research directions. This study adopts quantitative scientometric methods to examine the APS literature (n = 566) between 2011 and 2020 found in the Scopus database. The analysis reveals key research topics and recognizes the most important articles, authors, publication outlets, institutions, and countries in the field. The findings indicate that while issues such as ageing population, gender, quality of life, and socio-economic aspects of ageing have received significant interest, social exclusion of older adults, age diversity, social policy, and the eldercare workforce have received less attention. As challenges associated with the APS nexus will continue to gain currency in the future, this paper discusses the implications of the findings on (a) future research direction and (b) north-south research collaboration. The analysis shown in this paper should be of interest to scholars and policymakers interested in addressing the challenges associated with the APS nexus. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Quality & Quantity, 57(4), p. 3133-3150 | Publisher: | Springer Dordrecht | Place of Publication: | The Netherlands | ISSN: | 1573-7845 0033-5177 |
