Retirement planning and financial literacy, at the crossroads. A bibliometric analysis

Abstract

Governments in many countries are facing the challenge of providing sufficient retirement incomes for an ageing population. Through bibliometric analysis, this paper disentagles the intelectual and conceptual structure of the research on financial literacy in the various phases of retirement financial planning, identifying the most recent trends. The results are especially relevant for the financial community, considering the increasing emphasis of institutions and society in the use of financial literacy as a way of incresasing the responsibility of individual citizens in the design of their own retirement strategies.
