Rural Migration and Gender Budget

In an era of globalization, economic or labor migration is on the rise. Due to lack of employment opportunities in developing countries and increased demands for low-wage workers in developed countries or states, youth, women and men are pursuing work in other countries or states in order to support themselves and their families back home. Migration is an equilibrium process which reduces regional disparities at a different stage of development and a process which is as old as human civilization. This makes it as important for sociologists to develop empirical research and analysis on migration as it is to include it in their theoretical understandings of contemporary society. The study of migration is linked to research on economic migration but has its own specific research topics, methodological problem and conceptual issues. Migration needs to be analyses as a social process in which human agency and social network play a major part. It gives rise to loss of state control, especially in the context of recent concerns about migration and securest. In this context, it is essential to question entire sociological approaches, which have been based on the principle of relatively autonomous national societies.

A Decade of Gender Budgeting in Karnataka: A Preliminary Review

Understanding the necessity of gendering fiscal policies is a relatively new area in public finance research, which is now gaining momentum. The importance of gender differential impacts of the budgetary process is the highlight of the argument here, while a gender-mainstreamed society is the anticipated outcome. Based on the State gender-budget data of Karnataka (2007–2019), this article is an attempt to revisit the decade-long history of this exercise in the State. On the one hand, it attempts to reveal the good deeds of the practice in the State, and on the other hand, it highlights the lack of ‘gender concerns’ in the process.

Gender Budgeting in Scotland since Devolution

Gender budgeting has long been an ambition for feminist policy change in public policy content and process in Scotland, with a clear focus on reform of the budget process to embed gender analysis at all stages. Over the lifespan of the devolved institutions, gender budgeting has been advocated by the Scottish Women’s Budget Group (SWBG), through a number of feminist activists and academics, and a range of civil society organisations. Institutional action has, arguably, not kept pace with the demands for change or indeed the organisational structures introduced by the Scottish Government to advance gender budgeting. There have been a number of discursive shifts from a focus on gender, to broader equalities, and now to human rights, which have impacted the clarity of the focus for change and the accompanying narrative. This is consistent with a more generalised evaporation of gender analysis in public policy which this article highlights. With reflections on some of the principal actors and advocates for gender budgeting and milestones in Scotland’s approach to implementation, this article also offers some indication of future action to advance the adoption of gender budgeting.

From Rupees to Rights: India’s Struggle and Progress toward Gender Pay Parity

Abstract The gender pay gap, a global issue, reflects the persistent inequality between men and women in the workforce. India, despite progress in various aspects, still grapples with significant disparities in earnings between genders. This article explores the multifaceted nature of the gender pay gap in India, examining its causes and potential solutions. It also highlights India’s achievements in narrowing the gap in fields such as health care, education, and creative industries. Government initiatives and policies, like the Gender Budget, play a crucial role in addressing this issue, but challenges like unconscious biases and occupational segregation remain. While India has taken the first few steps toward gender pay parity, there is much work to be done to ensure equal opportunities and compensation for all.

Enhancing the Role of Parliament in the Budget-Making Processes

A budget is an important financial plan that provides a framework for the effective allocation of resources and is thus vital for ensuring effective public financial management. Parliaments play a critical role in ensuring that budgets deliver their intended outcomes. It is the responsibility of Parliaments to exercise oversight roles over the executives’ budget proposals, scrutinise budget information, and depending on the government system in place, approve, amend, or draft a new budget. The aim of this paper is to explore mechanisms that can be used to enhance the role of Parliament in budget-making processes by focusing on gender budgeting, budget reforms, and capacity building through the establishment of Independent Financial Institutions (IFIs) such as Parliamentary Budget Offices (PBOs) as mechanisms of enhancement. Based on the aim of this paper, the researcher chose to use a descriptive research design and employed a desktop research approach through a literature review. The relevant data was collected from various sources such as books, journals, and the internet. The online sources included in the academic database and government portals containing information relating to Parliaments, budgeting processes, and budget management. The findings suggest that Parliament plays an important role in ensuring that a budget is transparent, accountable, and responsive to the needs and demands of the public, including women and marginalised groups. It is also evident that some of the main challenges faced by Parliament to ensure an effective budgeting process include limited resources, political interference, and inadequate public participation. The study concludes that parliamentary involvement during the budget-making process is critical and therefore recommends strengthening the institutional capacity of Parliament, promoting public participation in the budget process, and ensuring gender-responsive budgeting in all stages of the budget cycle. Keywords: Parliament; Budget; Budget-making processes

GENDER EQUALITY IN LOCAL GOVERNMENT: THEORETICAL AND METHODOLOGICAL ASPECT

Purpose. The purpose of the article is to consider methodological approaches to building a gender sensitive community that would be a comfortable place for residents to live, in particular, to characterize the types of gender analysis and analyze its various methods that have proven themselves to be efficient abroad and are tested in Ukraine; develop an algorithm for assessing the gender impact of a local self-government progra or policy. Design/methodology/approach. Various general scientific and special research methods are used to solve the tasks set in the work. The abstract and logical method is used for theoretical generalizations, the definition of main categories and concepts, and the formation of research conclusions. The methods of analysis and synthesis are used to characterize the concept of gender and features of gender inequality in local self-government bodies. The structural and functional method made it possible to distinguish the kinds of gender analysis in local self-government. The comparative analysis helped study different methods of gender analysis, which have proven themselves to be efficient abroad and are tested in Ukraine. Conclusions. The kinds of gender analysis are characterized and various methods of its implementation, which have proven themselves to be efficient abroad and are tested in Ukraine, are analyzed. In particular, it is found that the most common method is the assessment of a gender impact; the indicators and main groups of indices used in the specified method are considered. The developed algorithm for assessing the gender impact of a local self-government program or policy makes it possible to systematize and comprehensively assess and reduce the presence of gender gaps with the help of such tools as gender budgeting, and a gender profile (passport) of the community. The concept of the implementation of a gender approach to local self-government is generalized. Originality/value. Gender assessment begins with defining problems and goals, and identifying gender gaps. The identified needs and problems are assessed in the next step, whether they can be solved with the help of developed programs and practices. The proposed indicators and indices will allow determining how the developed programs affected the reduction of gender gaps. It is researched that in practice such an assessment is reduced to the analysis of gender balance/imbalance in the personnel composition of communities, the assessment of the gender sensitivity of documents (whether there are feminine gender-specific job titles, whether the documents take into account the interests of men and women, boys and girls, including vulnerable categories, etc.), the formation of a gender-sensitive space in the community. Practical results. The materials presented in the article will be useful to local self-government bodies, public organizations, activists, and everyone interested in the issue of gender equality.

Practices of Gender-Responsive Budgeting in Nepal

This paper attempts to analyze gender-responsive budgeting (GRB) practices in Nepal. Gender-responsive budgeting (GRB) is an approach to budgeting that uses an interrelated gender lens to respond to the diverse experiences of gender-diverse groups. This budgeting is also known as gender budgeting. This paper is based on descriptive research design and mixed research methods as well as secondary. Secondary data were collected from the reviews of Gender Responsive Budgeting reports and articles. Both archives and digital sources were used to search review materials. The findings of this paper show that GRB is a fiscal policy or administration that is used for promoting gender equality for girls and women. It provides a tangible framework for mobilizing budgets through a wide range of actors to address the gender-differentiated gaps to achieve desirable gender equality outcomes. Indeed, GRB can enter any stage of the budget cycle by identifying the prominent efforts. This paper concludes that gender issues became at the center of inclusive development since ancient times in Nepal. The fiscal policy tries to address GRB from2007/08 with progressive efforts, although the implementation of GRB faces a lot of challenges and barriers to achieving desirable outcomes. Despite this, the international community has recognized the effort of Nepal as a prominent GRB process.
