“…It is assumed that some factors such as the developmental status of countries may affect the effects of promoting decent work. For example, in developing countries where working conditions are usually jeopardized by the deprivation of social and economic resources, how to position the goal of promoting decent work remains a controversial topic (Singh, 2017 ; Dhakal and Burgess, 2021 ). In China, the goal of achieving decent work is still at an early stage and the majority of the public are not able to associate the decent work notion with their present or future work (Cooke et al, 2019 ).…”

IntroductionAs a global sustainable development goal, the decent work notion has been promoted all over the world at theoretical, practical, and research levels for the purpose of enhancing people's capacity to enjoy freedom, equity, security, and human dignity at work. However, conclusive findings of the impact of decent work on people's wellbeing and longer-term career development are still missing due to a lack of systematic reviews on this topic. This study aims to (a) investigate the associations of decent work with people's wellbeing and their capabilities for sustaining career development and (b) examine the differential associations across different subgroups.MethodsDatabases of literature archived on or before 4 March 2022 were searched. A total of 46 studies met the inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis for the combined Pearson correlation coefficient (r) to estimate the associations of decent work with wellbeing and career capabilities, among which 30 studies (16,026 participants) were used for calculating the association between decent work and wellbeing whereas 26 studies (12,384 participants) were used for decent work and career capabilities.Results and discussionFirst, decent work demonstrates a medium association with wellbeing (r = .48, 95% CI [.45, .51]), and a medium association with career capabilities (r = .44, 95% CI [.40, .49]). Second, no significant differences with respect to the association of decent work with wellbeing and career capabilities were identified across subgroups categorized by developed/developing countries, population type, social status of participants as employee or student, participants from vulnerable/general groups, aspects of wellbeing/career capabilities, and study design. These results pose important implications for informing future research and practice to measure and promote decent work across the world.

The study attempts to determine a synthetic measure of the level of implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 8 related to promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all and conducts a multivariate comparative analysis of EU countries in terms of its implementation. The statistical database contained all 9 variables characterising this goal, collected for 27 EU countries in the period from 2015 to 2020. The research

“…In the context of an ongoing COVD-19 pandemic, various aging-related policy issues are likely to emerge as new research priorities in the immediate future (Dhakal et al 2021 ; Solanki et al, 2021 ). As the primary purpose of social policy innovation is to improve human wellbeing, especially the welfare of those disadvantaged, marginalised, and vulnerable (see Dhakal & Burgess, 2021 ), future studies should consider these observations to inform evidence-based policy discussions (see Head 2016 ) and guide future research directions.…”

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.
