Abstract

Why gender wage gap exists is a question that has attracted long-standing interest of scholars, practitioners and politicians. Extant research from different disciplines, including economics, psychology, sociology and management, has gained fruitful knowledge on antecedents of gender wage gap. Yet, each subfield emphasizes determinants of gender wage gap from various foci. The lack of comprehensive review on gender wage gap antecedents impairs our holistic understanding and impedes future research development. To systematically illustrate the complex antecedents of gender wage gap, we propose a supply-demand-context framework and organize antecedents of gender wage gap into three perspectives, including the supply side, the demand side and the contextual side. Based on the review, we further outline an agenda that point out several potential research directions, thus stimulating studies on future research opportunities.
