Minutes of the meeting held on 7 December 2022
• Core purpose of Gender Budgeting is to change policies, programmes and resource allocation to improve gender equality • In current society men and women don’t have equal rights and opportunities and hence different needs and priorities • How money is raised and spend is important and has different impacts on men and women o Women are more likely to work part-time and more likely to receive benefits o they experience poverty and public services differently, o they perform the majority of unpaid care work • Policies that appear gender neutral often have unintended consequences that exacerbate existing gender inequalities o e.g. pension access is linked to full-time employment but women are more likely to have periods of being inactive in the labour market or work part time due to caring responsibilities • Budgets are often assumed to affect everybody equal, looking at the impacts of an imagined ‘average citizen’, but that citizen is often white, male and middle class • Gender Budgeting is asking who benefits from the proposed proposals and who is impacted negatively due to structural inequalities o For example, in public discourse the gender pension gap is sometimes put down to the fact that women are saving less, but the structural factors causing this are not examined • Decisions on how money is raised and spent are often taken without taking into account gendered impacts.
