Abstract: The gender pay gap has always been a topic of discussion, with gender being cited as the leading cause, hence the term. Numerous studies have attempted to isolate gender, but the findings still point to unexplained causes of the gender pay gap. Therefore, this paper took several different perspectives on debunking the gender pay gap and constructing the possible reality of the gender pay gap, using systematic literature review and critical reflection. By exploring how the gender pay gap is calculated, individualizing gender and human, and learning from a cultural perspective, this paper suggests that the gender pay gap is beyond gender. This paper does not deny the existence of the gender pay gap; instead showing that the cause is beyond gender and calls for action to alleviate inequality to build healthier working environment.
