description The objective of this paper is to analyse the enduring gender wage gap, a prevalent economic issue that persists despite significant advancements in women's education and workforce participation. Through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of scholarly literature on the gender wage gap from 2010 to 2024, we aim to delineate key themes and trends in the academic discourse surrounding this phenomenon. Utilizing Scopus databases, this study employs keyword co-occurrence mapping to visualize interrelationships in bibliographic data, thereby allowing for a nuanced assessment of research themes, authorship patterns, and publication trends. The findings reveal a transformative evolution in the academic investigation of the gender wage gap, highlighting multifactorial analyses that encompass policy considerations, discriminatory practices, and the impacts of economic and technological evolution. Despite the growing body of research, significant gaps remain, particularly regarding intersectionality and the broader societal implications of wage disparities. This research presents an innovative bibliometric approach that contributes to a deeper understanding of the complexities and fluctuating discussions surrounding the gender wage gap. It underscores the necessity for continued inquiry into this issue, advocating for interdisciplinary methodologies and holistic policy responses to address not only wage inequities but also the structural and social determinants that perpetuate these disparities. Ultimately, the study aims to inform both scholarly research and policy initiatives, promoting the development of inclusive and equitable workplace environments and societal structures.
