A Study on the Institutionalization of Gender Budgeting (Ⅱ)

This study presents the results of a research conducted in 2008 as part of the three-year Gender Budgeting Institutionalization Study Series in Korea launched in 2007. This study focuses on the drafting of "a Gender Budgeting Statement" in 2009, which is composed of four sections; 1) the outline of gender budgeting, 2) the goals of gender budgeting policies and the direction of fiscal management in 2009, 3) the breakdowns of the 2009 Gender Budgeting Statement, and 4) the project explanation from the gender perspective by ministry/agency. In the 2009 Gender Budget Statement, projects are classified into two categories: projects specially targeted for improving gender equality and general projects. Projects for gender equality are identified, sorted, and analyzed. Among the general projects, about 50 are selected and analyzed regarding their impacts on gender equality. This paper concludes with suggestions for further research.
