Abstract

On the labour market, unemployment is a negative phenomenon. A growing body of scientific literature emphasises the importance of resolving this issue. On the labour market, youth are considered one of the most vulnerable groups. The purpose of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of youth unemployment in order to identify the countries that have contributed the most to the development of this issue, as well as to identify key terms that are closely associated with the topic at hand. For the analysis, we use studies published in the Web of Science database during the period 2001-2023. We use VOS viewer to create individual bibliometric maps. The most scientific studies were published during the years 2019 - 2021. The countries that contributed the most to the development of this issue are the United Kingdom, Germany and the USA. According to the results of the bibliometric analysis, the keywords unemployment, employment, education, as well as impact are most frequently associated with the given topic.
