“…The analysis clearly showed that developed economies in the OECD block, such as Australia, the UK, and the US stand out as significant countries producing and collaborating in APS-related studies. Although the challenges associated with the APS nexus have become a global priority, especially in the context of SDGs in developing countries (WHO, 2019 ), the findings concur with the trend that research outputs in developing countries have not been encouraging (see Dhakal and Aryal 2022 ). With the rapidly growing ageing population and associated societal challenges, the APS nexus will continue to gain currency in the future.…”

“…The analysis clearly showed that developed economies in the OECD block, such as Australia, the UK, and the US stand out as significant countries producing and collaborating in APS-related studies. There have been some laudable but isolated efforts to examine the APS-related literature in developing countries (see Cheema 2013 ; Nguyen et al 2019 ; Dhakal and Aryal 2022 ; Chatterjee and Mahmood 2022 ). However, Mahmood & Dhakal ( 2022 ) point out that while Japan is the front runner in research outputs amongst countries in the Asia Pacific region, collaborative outcomes from developing countries on the APS nexus have been negligible.…”

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.

“…In India, TFR declined from 5.9 in 1950 to 2.2 in 2022, and is further expected to reach 1.72 during 2031-35, that is signi cantly lower than the replacement level (Registrar General of India, 2020; Sawe, 2020). Over the last few decades, life expectancy has increased signi cantly, rising from 36.2 years in 1950 to 67.5 years in 2015, and it is projected to increase up to 75.9 years by 2050 (Dhakal, Nankervis, & Burgess, 2022). Besides, the infant mortality rate in the country was reported 46 in 2010, which is likely to decline by 30 by the end of the period 2031-2035 (Registrar General of India, 2020).…”

Population ageing is an inevitable consequence of demographic transitions and declining fertility causes a rising burden of ageing. The goal of the present study is to project the ageing index of various states across the country up to the year 2031. In addition, the study projects the year by which different states will reach the standard level of aging. Data for this study were taken from the 2001 and 2011 census of India. Using simple trend extrapolation techniques, we produced projections of ageing indices up to 2031; and then we projected when different states would reach the standard level of ageing (aging of Kerala in 2011). The results showed that there will be a change in the age structure of the population from 2011 to 2031, with an increase of 6% in the working-age group (15–59 years) and 5% in the older population (60 or more years), but a decline of 11.2% in the children ages 0–14 years. Southern and other states such as Punjab and Himachal Pradesh are likely to attain standard levels of ageing in the next few years. However, northern states are expected to take more years to achieve it.This is the time to start planning for the future burden of the old-age population across the country and arrange adequate health infrastructure for the older population in the future.
