Gender budgeting is an approach to budgeting in which governments use fiscal policies and administration to address gender inequality and women’s advancement. There is little quantitative study of its impact. Indian states offer a relatively unique framework for assessing the effect of gender budgeting. States with gender budgeting efforts have made more progress on gender equality in primary school enrollment than those without, though economic growth appears insufficient to generate equality on its own. The implications of gender budgeting for fiscal spending were more ambiguous.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2016/227Women's rightsIndiaFiscal policyIndiaMacroeconomicsimfWomen''s Studies'imfGender StudiesimfPublic Economics: GeneralimfEconomics of GenderimfNon-labor DiscriminationimfEducation: GeneralimfPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their DistributionsimfGender studies, gender groupsimfSocial discrimination & equal treatmentimfEducationimfGender studiesimfwomen & girlsimfGender budgetingimfGender inequalityimfWomenimfPersonal incomeimfGenderimfNational accountsimfSex roleimfSex discriminationimfIncomeimfIndiaimfWomen's rightsFiscal policyMacroeconomicsWomen''s Studies'Gender StudiesPublic Economics: GeneralEconomics of GenderNon-labor DiscriminationEducation: GeneralPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their DistributionsGender studies, gender groupsSocial discrimination & equal treatmentEducationGender studieswomen & girlsGender budgetingGender inequalityWomenPersonal incomeGenderNational accountsSex roleSex discriminationIncome305.420954Stotsky Janet1094931Zaman Asad1450945DcWaIMFBOOK9910155013303321The Influence of Gender Budgeting in Indian States on Gender Inequality and Fiscal Spending3650689UNINA
