Bibliometric Exploration of Workforce Skills: A Comprehensive Analysis from 1987 to 2023
Abstract
The changing nature of labor skills has received more attention, but there is a lack of a complete bibliometric analysis that covers a long period of time in current scholarly discourses. Many existing studies have a limited scope, resulting in a significant vacuum in our understanding of research on workforce skill development. This study fills this gap by undertaking a thorough examination of literature from 1987 to 2023, utilizing 1580 papers. It reveals subtle trends, changes, and developing themes that have been overlooked in more focused investigations. The importance of this research resides in its capacity to inform policymakers, educators, and academics on the direction of studies on labor skills. This knowledge can facilitate well-informed decision-making and strategic planning in the ever-changing fields of education industry. This analysis attempts to provide comprehensive insights into the entire range of literature. Its purpose is to direct future research directions and offer practical strategies for developing a competent and flexible global workforce.
