Abstract: This article aims to further understand age management strategies for older workers, along with the key thematic themes that influence research in this field. To achieve this objective, a sample of 347 articles was obtained from the Web of Science database and then analyzed using bibliometric methods. Four types of analysis were used: performance analysis, the evolution of keywords, longitudinal analysis, and analysis by period. Based on the data available on the Web of Science, the time frame starts from 1997 to 2023. Each period showed different trends in response to organizational changes and global situations. Nevertheless, the cluster with the most significant number of articles only sometimes indicates well-developed themes. The current period, 2021 to 2023, concludes with some encouraging topics in human resource management, such as sustainable employment and intergenerational communication, that offer potential for further study. Suggestions from that period involve using quantitative methodologies to determine contextual factors of older workers, including a multidimensional approach to explore aging and economic welfare and applying qualitative approaches to explore stakeholder support for age management practices.
