This book examines how fiscal policy and management can promote
gender equality in developing as well as developed countries.
Providing an international look at gender budgeting, it draws on
countries at different levels of development, with an emphasis on
low-income developing countries. It introduces the reader to the
main trends in gender equality, the key ideas and rationale of
gender budgeting from a fiscal policy perspective and where gender
budgeting fits into public financial management. It offers case
studies and other empirical evidence from developing, emerging, and
developed countries on what works in using fiscal policy and public
financial management to narrow gender gaps in education, health
care, access to infrastructure, and economic empowerment. It also
provides policy recommendations appropriate to countries at
different levels of development. The reader will gain an
understanding of how fiscal policy and public financial management
can contribute to gender equality and women's advancement. The book
provides a well-grounded set of conclusions and policy
recommendations, drawn from evaluation of the evidence. The focus
is on low-income developing countries but is combined with a
well-rounded look at developing countries, more generally, emerging
markets, and developed countries as well. This book will be a
valuable resource for economists and policy makers, particularly
those in developing countries still grappling with large
disparities between women and men. It will also prove useful to
researchers and those who provide technical assistance and aid to
countries on fiscal policies and tools for gender equality.
