The ability of individuals to excel in one's careers is termed as career adaptability. People with a high level of career adaptability score tend to showcase better overall control over their careers. In this study, we have explored the precedents that predict career adaptability. We collected data from 330 students of graduation, post-graduation, and research enrolled at various universities in India. Using structural equation modelling in R Programming, we found that social support and course relevance plays a positive and significant role in 'university life satisfaction' which in turn predicts a positive impact on career adaptability and its four components (concern, control, curiosity, and confidence). Further we found negative moderation effect of 'career decision' on relationship between 'course relevance' and 'university life satisfaction'. This empirical evidence in the study provides insights to the academic policymakers and various stakeholders and help in creating a robust and effective policy framework.

The financial system is a highly competitive field whose applications range from as big as the strategic vision and missions of the multinational companies to as small as day-to-day household expenditure decisions or management of pocket money by students. Financial literacy is a life skill that, in theory, is highly related to the well-being of individuals and companies. In the subject of financial literacy, there is a large body of literature, but very little to no knowledge on the trend and patterns of the literature and research advances in the body of knowledge. With the help of Scientific mapping analysis (SMA) and Bibliometric analyses, this study aims to declutter the literature in the field and find the future research direction in financial literacy. The study is carried out on 1000 documents from a 20-year time horizon (2001–2021), indexed on Web of Science. The study shows the publication trends, most relevant authors, journals, countries. The most significant, developing, and trending themes in the subject and the intellectual structure were investigated using keyword analysis. To better understand the social structure in financial literacy and well-being, co-authorship analysis was used.

The aim of the research is to investigate the role of Education 4.0 in innovative curricular practices and digital literacy, weaving logically with the central focus of the study on identifying new and emerging areas in the field. The research uses bibliometric analysis and scientific mapping to analyse the body of knowledge already published and to highlight publishing patterns, notable authors, journals, nations, connections, and keywords. The study's conclusions point to five main themes in education 4.0, including creating a blueprint of Education 4.0, preparing for future challenges, environmental learning and sustainable development, leadership development, and promoting innovation and creativity. These themes are founded on the bibliometric coupling of works, which offers a thorough comprehension of the field's intellectual structure. The findings emphasise the need for more study on innovative curriculum practices, digital literacy, and the role of Education 4.0 in preparing students for future challenges. Future study is specifically advised to look at how Education 4.0 affects student learning outcomes, the role of instructors in implementing Education 4.0, and the possible advantages of cross-disciplinary collaboration in Education 4.0. This study offers valuable insights for educators, policymakers, and academics on the significance of Education 4.0 in fulfilling the requirements of learners in the 21st century.

South-South Cooperation is a broad framework for collaboration among countries of the South in the political, economic, social, cultural, environmental and technical domains. Involving two or more developing countries, it can take place on a bilateral, regional, sub-regional or interregional basis. Developing countries share knowledge, skills, expertise and resources to meet their development goals through concerted efforts. Looking at the past two decades there has been a surge in South-South economic cooperation– including trade, investment, development assistance and other financial flows. Furthermore, China, India and Brazil are also increasingly active as so-called ‘emerging donors’, both in Africa and in their respective neighbourhood, and the past years have witnessed an unprecedented growth of what can be called ‘South–South aid.’
