Abstract
Abstract Society is undergoing unprecedented transformations caused by big economic, political, technological, social and mostly demographic changes. In this line, the role and weight of older adults turns more important due to the modifications such transformation will bring about in their characteristics, needs, expectations and goals as regards their personal, economic, political, technological and social aspects. This situation has given rise to the concept of Silver Economy, which broadly speaking represents that part of the economy related to the demographic change caused by aging population, including all those economic activities, products and services intended to meet the needs of older adults. Its being a growing field of knowledge makes it complex to identify the driving forces and agents that boost its development and therefore to promote and consolidate this new concept. In accordance with this opportunity, this piece of research maps the main research themes available in literature, making use of SciMAT-based smart bibliometric tools and techniques. In addition to other actions, this research makes it possible to identify the main themes, who the relevant agents are, the pioneering countries in this field, and the more productive organizations and sources. To this end, the Scopus database has been used as main source, bearing in mind that it concentrates 281 publications from 1979 to 2022 related to older adults and their role in economic, political, technological and social development, which has resulted a detailed frame of reference on Silver Economy.
