Gender budgeting calls for including a gender perspective at all levels of governmental budgetary processes. While the literature on gender budgeting is interdisciplinary and covers a wide geographical range, it remains fragmented. This study uses a literature review to examine the current discourse on gender budgeting and to elicit avenues for future research. Our review shows that studies focus either on emerging economies, such as India or South Africa, or on countries in Europe. Drawing on an analytical framework, we find that most studies scrutinize the ex ante stages of gender budgeting, whereas less is known about the concurrent and ex post stages. Moreover, because little is known about the outcome and impact of gender budgeting, governments do not know what instruments function best in different settings. Given their ex ante focus, most studies on gender budgeting often either remain descriptive or analyse secondary data. Despite scholars from different disciplines contributing to the field of gender budgeting, several ‘blank spots’ remain, particularly in public sector accounting. Points for practitioners While current gender budgeting projects tend to focus on the ex ante stage of gender budgeting, future practitioner attention needs to focus on the equally important concurrent and ex post stages, which have received less attention thus far. An increasing number of governments worldwide are implementing gender budgeting projects. Governments need to evaluate the outcome and impact of these projects in a timely fashion, aiming at reducing structural inequalities related to gender. Gender budgeting is willingly adopted in times of prosperity and stability or when the scope of projects appears manageable. To avoid negative impacts on their achievements, policy makers need to put gender budgeting on the political agenda and institutionalize it in times of instability and crisis.

“…This study used flue questions developed by Hoffman & Reese (2019) to measure it. Gender budgeting performance (GBP) is an attainment of budget allocation into govern ment programs that are equally fulfilled the needs and interests of different social groups (Campbell & Gillespie, 2017). Performance budgeting is a systematic process of using information regarding output, result, and impact of policies to determine the allocation of public fund level in a budgetary context (Sushant & Laha, 2021).…”

Abstrak -Apakah Anggaran Pemerintah Daerah Mengakomodasi Kesetaraan Gender?Tujuan Utama -Penelitian ini berupaya menganalisis aspek kesetaraan gender dalam penyusunan anggaran pemerintah daerah. Metode -Penelitian menggabungkan metode analisis PLS dan wawan cara. Sejumlah pihak yang terlibat dalam penyusunan anggaran daerah menjadi informan dan sampel. Temuan Utama -Penelitian menemukan bahwa dua tipe isomorfime (normatif dan mimetik teruji) mampu memicu kinerja penganggaran re sponsif gender. Walaupun demikian, unit pemerintah daerah memiliki komitmen sedang untuk menerapkan anggaran berbasis gender dan level ini menjadi alasan anggaran pemerintah belum responsif gender. Selain itu, ketidakpastian lingkungan yang tinggi di pemerintah daerah mengganggu komitmen organisasi untuk mencapai anggaran responsif gender. Implikasi Teori dan Kebijakan -Teori kelembagaan menguraikan de ngan sangat jelas praktik isomorfisme di pemerintah daerah. Hasil ini bermanfaat bagi pimpinan dan pegawai bagian anggaran dalam menyu sun anggaran. Kebaruan Penelitian -Sejauh diketahui oleh penulis, riset mengenai kinerja anggaran gender di seluruh unit kerja pemerintah belum dilaku kan di Indonesia.

This paper explores the potential for new workbased apprenticeship degrees to encourage more women into computing degrees and the IT sector. In the UK, women are currently under-represented on computing courses. Meanwhile the IT industry requires more computing graduates, in general, and specifically more highly skilled women to create appropriate products and systems. The UK has recently introduced apprenticeship computing degrees, where the apprentice is a work-based employee. In some models, apprentices spend 20% of their time on Higher Education studies and also gain credits through work-based learning; in others, apprentices spend blocks of time in Higher Education and the workplace. These degrees offer a new and innovative route to studying computing at university. Largely funded by employers, apprentices are salaried, and their fees are paid, paving the way for more people to study for a degree. The work context enables apprentices to keep their jobs (if relevant) or to move into IT roles and start a computing degree without necessarily having computing qualifications; the degrees have no upper age limit. Extending the work-based approach of US cooperative education and student work placement models, apprenticeship degrees have been introduced to increase skills levels through a close partnership between universities and employers. This is particularly important in IT, where the sector is expanding, and employers are looking for both good technical and personal skills. With this model, employers are collaboratively involved in the design of the degrees and apprentices graduate with extensive work experience. We posed the following research question: Are there differences in the paths into computing apprenticeship degrees between women and men? A survey was conducted with apprentices beginning a degree in Fall 2019: Cyber Security, Data Science, IT Management for Business, or Software Engineering/Development. Participants were asked about their routes into the apprenticeship and the IT sector. Apprentices at five universities in Scotland and one in Northern Ireland completed the survey, on paper or online (n=85; 23 female, 59 male).The results revealed a less severe gender imbalance than with comparative on-campus degrees (28% female), but this varied greatly across the subjects, from Data Science, where 55% of respondents identified as female and IT Management for Business (40% female), to Software Development (27% female) and Cyber Security (only 11% female). Apprentices were more likely to have started the degree at least a few years after leaving school and this was especially true for women. More female respondents had also been with their current employer for over five years. However, women were slightly more likely to have joined their employers in order to start the apprenticeship. This initial work identifies opportunities to recruit women onto computing degree apprenticeships, for example by targeting women who have started careers. It also highlights that there are challenges in recruiting women ...
