Labour Market Outcomes and Alcohol Consumption: A Quantitative Analysis

Abstract

We utilized the second round of India Human Development Survey (IHDS) to study the impact of alcohol consumption on the employment status of working adults in Indian settings. Simultaneously, this study aims to comprehensively understand the conceptual, intellectual, and social framework related to alcohol, (un)employment, work, and labour market outcomes. To address that, we utilised the databases of Scopus and Web of Science, employing 'OR' and 'AND' logical operators and keywords for the last 30 years (Jan 1993-mid-June 2023). Through our search, we initially identified 1,085 articles. Subsequently, we narrowed the selection to 160 articles using specific inclusion and exclusion criteria, forming our study's basis. The research is divided into two main parts: performance analysis and science mapping. The study represents one of the most comprehensive bibliometric analysis of alcohol consumption and labour outcomes to date.
