Retirement Plan and Its Relation with Financial Behavior: a Bibliometrix Analysis

This research uses bibliometric analysis to explore the relationships between retirement and financial behavior. A comprehensive search yielded 5202 documents spanning from 1946 to 2024. Utilizing bibliometric techniques, including co-citation analysis, keyword co-occurrence analysis, and citation network analysis, this study examines the evolution of research trends, key themes, and intellectual structures within the field. Findings reveal a growing interest in the intersection of retirement and financial behavior, with an increasing emphasis on topics such as retirement planning, financial literacy, savings behavior, and investment strategies. Co-citation analysis identifies seminal works and influential authors, while keyword co-occurrence analysis highlights prominent themes and concepts. Citation network analysis elucidates the interconnectedness of research topics and the dissemination of knowledge within the field. Limitations, including scope constraints and publication biases, are acknowledged, and future research directions are proposed to further advance our understanding of retirement and financial behavior dynamics. This study contributes to the existing literature by providing a comprehensive overview of research trends and thematic patterns, informing future research agendas and policy initiatives aimed at promoting financial wellbeing in retirement.
