Abstract

This paper provides a systematic review of the phenomenon of menopause at the workplace from a sustainable career perspective, by highlighting its major themes along with the evolution and tendencies observed in this field. A conceptual science mapping analysis based on co-word bibliographic networks was developed, using the SciMAT tool. From 1992 to 2020, 185 documents were retrieved from the Web of Science. In the first analyzed time span (1992-2002), , , and appeared to be the motor themes (well-developed and important for the structure of the discipline under focus), and was an emerging or disappearing theme in the phenomenon under research. In the second studied period (2003-2013), and were motor themes, was a basic or transversal theme (important for the discipline but not well-developed), was a specialized theme (well-developed but less important for the structure of the research field), and was an emerging or disappearing theme (both weakly developed and marginal to the field). In the third studied period (2014-2020), , , and were motor themes, was a specialized theme and and were emerging or disappearing themes. Sustainability of women's careers in the second half of life is of increasing importance given the increasing equal representation of men and women in working organizations, and the impact of the changing nature of work in the 21st century on older workers.
