GENDER RESPONSIVE BUDGETING INITIATIVES IN SWITZERLAND
Journal Title: Інтелект ХХІ - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue
Abstract
The article presents experience of gender budgeting implementation canton of Basel-Stadt (Switzerland) in the sphere of unpaid labour. The Swiss Public Service Union’s women members decided to commission a scientific study to analyse the impact of public expenditure and budget cuts on employment and determine the gender-specific impact of public budgets and budget items. Following a preliminary study by the Swiss Centre for Labour and Social Policy Issues, the Swiss Conference on Gender Equality commissioned a more comprehensive study. The authors examined the following issues: whether there is a way of measuring and determining whether men or women receive more public goods and services and how can the consequences of public spending cuts be determined and compared. The budget analysis revealed a very unequal distribution of public spending on men and women at various levels. During periods when the state was economising, the situation of women deteriorated further. In the years analysed, a very small proportion of federal, cantonal and communal public funds was spent on areas of employment with a high percentage of female labour.
