It reveals which components of human capital characterizing innovative potential of the worker bring him(her) an additional reward in the regional labour market, and which of them are undervalued; what are the differences in such additional reward of men and women and the possible reasons of these differences. The results indicate that the differences in the different cases can be in favour of not only men but also women. Object of the Research: Enterprises of the Nizhniy Novgorod Region. Subject of the Research: Relationship between the wages of male and female employees in the region, and innovative components of their human capital. Theoretical aspect of the Subject: Concept and essence of innovative components of human capital and gender inequality in income.

Purpose of the Research Investigating the differences between men and women in reward that Russian labor market gives to innovative components of their human capital and identifying the possible reasons of these differences. Main Theoretical and Empirical concepts: Human capital of an employee (micro level) and organizations (meso level) contains the components that can be defined as innovative. Some of them bring additional income to the owners and thus their development and use is stimulated by the labour market, the others are not evaluated and rewarded properly.

Накопленный страной человеческий капитал составляет основу современной экономики, это главный фактор социально-экономического развития на макро- и микроуровне. Развитие передовых стран привело к формированию в ХХ в. постиндустриальной, а затем и новой экономики — экономики знаний, инноваций, глобальных информационных систем, экономики интеллектуального труда, науки, новейших технологий [Корчагин, 2005, 1, с. 114]. В современных условиях человеческий капитал является главной ценностью общества и главным фактором экономического роста, экономического прогресса, «гораздо более важным, чем природные ресурсы или накопление богатства... Именно человеческий капитал… является краеугольным камнем конкурентоспособности, экономического роста и эффективности» [Грейсон, 1991, 2, с.196]. В связи с этим необходимо, чтобы в экономике имелись достаточные стимулы для развития человеческого капитала как для организаций, так и для работников на индивидуальном уровне. При этом, поскольку у мужчин и женщин в значительной степени различаются жизненные стратегии, предпочтения при выборе рода и режима занятости и возможности трудовой деятельности, важной проблемой для изучения являются гендерные различия в использовании и вознаграждении человеческого капитала. Целью данной работы является изучение различий в вознаграждении российским рынком труда инновационных компонент человеческого капитала мужчин и женщин и выявление их возможных причин.
