Review of Labor Force and Active Aging Studies: Trends, Collaborations and Perspectives

Bibliometric analysis is an effective method to gain a detailed overview of trends in the labor force, with a focus on active aging.This approach examines relevant scientific publications to identify trends, key authors, frequently used terms and, last but not least, important contributions to the field.The specific area of workforce and active aging focuses on the relationship between the process of population aging and its impact on the workforce.The focus here is on how older people can remain active and productive in the labor market, including by adapting skills and implementing policies and practices that facilitate employment and retention.In order to carry out this study, articles on workforce and active aging were identified using data available on the Web of Science.Although the results of the study show that, unlike other topics, a relatively small number of studies were identified in the Web of Science for workforce and active aging, research in this area is increasing, particularly in the USA and Spain.This approach provides a basis for the analysis and interpretation of workforce developments in the context of active aging.It enables a deeper understanding of workforce work with a focus on active aging and can serve as a basis for sound research and policy decisions.
