<![CDATA[Industrialization and modernization remain central pillars in achieving sustained economic growth and productive employment as outlined in SDGs Targets 8 and 9. This study aims to map global research developments on these themes by employing a bibliometric approach using the Bibliometrix R package and the Biblioshiny web interface. A dataset of peer-reviewed articles indexed in Scopus was systematically analyzed to identify publication trends, thematic evolution, co-occurrence patterns, and influential sources shaping the discourse. The findings reveal a consistent increase in scholarly attention over the last decade, driven by global concerns regarding sustainable industry transitions, technological upgrading, and inclusive labor development. Keyword clustering highlights three dominant thematic concentrations: sustainable industrial policy, technological modernization, and human-capital-driven development. The thematic evolution map further shows a shift from traditional industrial growth narratives toward sustainability-oriented modernization frameworks. The study contributes by providing an integrated overview of the intellectual structure of the field and offering evidence-based insights for policymakers, researchers, and development practitioners. Strengthening industrial modernization strategies informed by bibliometric intelligence can accelerate national progress toward achieving SDGs 8 and 9.]]>
