DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book focuses on the realistic challenges faced by the implementation of Gender Responsive Budgeting in India. It gives insight about the various tools and implementation methods for the gender equality. Assessing budgets through a gender lens requires thinking about government finances in a new way. It calls for including equity in budget performance indicators and examining the impact of budget policies on gender equality outcomes. It also focuses on the relation between government spending and women's time spent in unpaid care work such as water and fuel collection, caring for the sick, childcare and many others. Conducting a gender-responsive budget analysis can be seen as a step not only towards accountability to women's human rights, but also towards greater public transparency and economic efficiency. However, the work argues to focus on the broader framework because that would show the actual commitment of the state. Vacuum analysis would provide wrong inputs thus there is need to see gender budgeting in consonance to the entire budgetary allocations and concerned ministries allocation.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis paper examines the concept of gender-responsive government budgeting, promoted in recent years by women's nongovernmental organizations, academia, and multilateral organizations, and the extent of its implementation by national governments in both advanced and developing countries. Owing to recently developed analytical and technical tools, government budget management systems in some countries can help promote gender equality-to the extent of government involvement in gender-sensitive sectors and programs-at any level of available funding. However, to be fully effective, obstacles such as gender-biased culture, the lack of appropriate budget classifications, and the lack of gender analysis expertise and gender-disaggregated data in most countries need to be addressed.
