Abstract

Background: Concurrent global challenges have increasingly led to a paradigm shift from a traditional CSR focus to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) practices aligned with long-term sustainability. Objective: This study tracks the evolution of trends and contributions of authors, affiliations, and countries to the ESG-Islamic finance literature across the Developing-8 countries between 2015 and 2024. Method: The Scopus database was used to extract 929 documents over 10 years, and a bibliometric review was conducted to identify current and future directions in ESG and Islamic Finance research. Results: The findings highlight a significant rise in ESG-Islamic finance research after the COVID-19 pandemic, with Malaysia and Indonesia leading in scholarly output. Conclusion: The analysis identified Hassan M.K. as the most productive author, Universiti Teknologi MARA as the highest-contributing institution, and Sustainable Switzerland as the most prominent journal. The research offers crucial insight for future researchers, policymakers, and financial practitioners working to strengthen ESG integration within the Islamic Finance Industry. Keywords: Bibliometric Review; Scopus database; D-8 countries; ESG integration; Islamic Finance.

Abstract

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) faces both a persistently high demographic dependency burden and comparatively underdeveloped financial systems. It is unclear whether deeper financial systems can offset the harm that dependency does to human development. This study examines whether financial development moderates the relationship between age dependency and human development outcomes in SSA. Using panel data for 43 SSA countries from 2004 to 2023, the study applies fixed-effects estimation with Driscoll-Kraay standard errors to test this relationship between the age dependency ratio and the Human Development Index (HDI). Our findings shows that age dependency ratio exerts a significant negative effect on HDI. Financial development, proxied by both domestic credit to the private sector and broad money, exerts a significant positive effect. The interaction between age dependency and financial development is positive and significant across both proxies. This shows that financial development weakens the adverse effect of dependency on human development, and the effect is stronger when financial development is measured by credit to the private sector. The result holds under a lagged robustness check and is corroborated by subsample analysis, which shows the negative dependency effect is significant only in low-financial-development countries. These findings extend buffer-stock theory from household consumption smoothing to macro-level human development outcomes. They suggest that deepening private credit markets is a viable policy lever for cushioning the human development costs of demographic aging in SSA.
