“…In 2015, 191 United Nations Member states signed the 2030 Agenda, including 17 goals and 169 sustainable development targets. This agenda is formulated based on the consensual idea that shared responsibility exists to create a more inclusive, equitable, prosperous, and sustainable future (Davidescu, Petcu, Curea & Manta, 2022). Therefore, this agenda intends to be a guideline for human development until 2030 (Ferraro et al, 2016).…”

Purpose: This study aims to analyze the contributions of knowledge management to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A systematic literature review was carried out using the keywords “Knowledge Management” in the title and “Sustainable Development Goals” throughout the text on the B-On database. Design/methodology/approach: A literature review was conducted in this study. In total, 31 articles were analyzed, most from developing countries. Just 11 of them were focused on only one goal. This was done by resorting to the PRISMA protocol and adapting the GRADE protocol. Findings: The results show little investigation on knowledge management for sustainable development goals. However, there is an agreement among authors that knowledge management is essential for the present 2030 Agenda. It is necessary to invest in knowledge management in developing countries for them to make progress toward the SDGs. Research limitations/implications: Only one database was used, Knowledge Management was identified as a global construct, and the resort to the expression “Sustainable Development Goals” can have a narrowing effect on the results. Future research may focus on the knowledge management processes or surveying each Sustainable Development Goal. Practical implications: In this study, the contributions of knowledge management for poverty eradication, quality of health, drinkable water and sanitation, decent work and economic growth, industry, infrastructure and innovation, and action for climate change are clear, which can be a starting point for future research and to intervene in this field. Originality/value: As for originality, it is the first systematic literature review on knowledge management's contributions to achieving sustainable development goals within the United Nations 2030 Agenda framework. As for the value, which also stems from its originality, emphasis is placed on the possibility of making decisions based on evidence, in theoretical and practical terms, considering the results obtained. Keywords: Knowledge Management, Sustainability, Sustainable Development Goals, 2030 Agenda, Systematic literature review.

“…The research in the field of sustainable tourism with the use of bibliometric analysis is gaining supporters and is discussed in the literature on a large scale (Table 1). The main research problems of bibliometric studies on sustainability and tourism are: a) the identification of the most popular topics and research problems (Davidescu et al, 2022;Iqbal et al, 2022;Khanra et al, 2021;León-Gómez et al, 2021;Serrano et al, 2019;Singh et al, 2022;Trip et al, 2021); b) the geographical volatility of studies (Garrigos-Simon et al, 2018;León-Gómez et al, 2021;Shasha et al, 2020); c) the geographical distribution of authors (Jiménez-García et al, 2020;Pahrudin et al, 2022;Sánchez-Cañizares et al, 2018); and d) the changes in the number of articles related to sustainable tourism over time (Mihalic et al, 2021;Seguí-Amortegui et al, 2019). There is definitely a lack of bibliometric studies on the moral and ethical issues of research on sustainable tourism.…”

The core values of sustainability should be emphasised: economic development, social inclusion, equity as well as diversity, and environmental protection. Those values should be reflected in various characteristics of studies on sustainable tourism. And this is the question we ask in our paper: are the studies of sustainable tourism sustainable? To address that question, we applied a bibliometric analysis of papers published within the last ten years in the Journal of Sustainable Tourism, the most influential scientific journal strictly focused on sustainable tourism issues. The analysis has revealed some doubts related to financial support for the research presented in the papers published, open access to the investigated articles, the differentiation of scientific disciplines whose achievements are presented, the expected methodological triangulation applied in the investigated papers, spatial volatility of case study areas in empirical works presented in the journal and, finally, the Anglo-American domination in the discourse on sustainable tourism.

“…Surprisingly, the literature has paid little attention to the analysis of informality by type of gender in businesses with more than 42 months of operation (definition of an established business carried out by the Global Entrepreneurship Monitor), considering that men and women have different reasons for remaining informal (Elam, 2021). The gender roles that society has imposed on women require them to face obstacles, limitations and social challenges, especially when seeking economic independence (Davidescu et al, 2022;Garc ıa, 2019;Thapa Karki et al, 2021). The informal economy accommodates entrenched social norms among women who run small businesses because they value their reputation in the family and society more than facing structural barriers to their economic inclusion through formalization (Thapa Karki et al, 2021).…”

PurposeMotivations and access to resources for venturing differ between men and women. In developing countries, there has been an increase in businesses that do not have a specific location and persist in informality. This research aimed to evaluate, from a gender perspective, the moderating effect of the decision not to have a place in the relationship between human capital (education, experience and type of entrepreneurship) and business informality.Design/methodology/approachUsing the National Household Survey 2014–2018, a sample of 50,313 Peruvian entrepreneurs was obtained − 23,314 women and 27,002 men – who have been in business for over three years. The data were analysed with logistic regression.FindingsThe results showed a moderating effect of entrepreneurship without a settled location on the relationship between education and informality in the case of women. And, for men, the moderating impact falls on the education, experience and reason for venturing that influences the formality of their businesses.Originality/valueThe problem of business informality of established companies with more than 42 months of operation is analysed. The moderating effect of the decision not to have a specific location on the relationship between human capital and informality is explored. This work extends business informality studies in Latin America developing countries, incorporating a gender perspective.
