Abstract

The literature on Vocational Education and Training (VET) spans over six decades. This review conducts a bibliometric analysis of 447 Scopus-indexed documents from 1965 to 2023. It is the first to analyze VET-related literature published in ABS-listed journals within the field of economics. Our findings highlight significant publication growth since 2014 and identify four primary research clusters: “vocational education and skill formation,†“vocational training and labor market outcomes,†“human capital and economic growth,†and “apprenticeship contracts and training costs.†Based on the current knowledge structure, we suggest directions for future research.
