Abstract

The paper describes the achievements of Claudia Goldin, the winner of the Bank of Sweden’s Alfred Nobel Memorial Prize in 2023. The results of her research, their connection with the legacy of Nobel laureates of previous years – S. Kuznets, E. Roth and L. Shepley, G. Becker and others – are considered. As a major achievement of K. Goldin is noted her detailed analysis of the structure of gender pay inequality. The laureate examined the factors of differences in the modes of work and composition of jobs held by women and men. Claudia Goldin’s activity on attracting women to economic specialties is also described.
