Developing Indicators and Analysis Technique for Gender-responsive Budget Statement

This paper presents a new analysis methodology that overcomes the limitations of the previous gender-responsive budget analysis methods. The main purpose of this study is to conduct an exemplary analysis through the use of a new analysis methodology and to present its results. The new methodology presented in this paper clarifies the concept of the level of gender equality that accurately reflects the structural gap between the policy needs of men and women, and connects this to the actual development of an indicator for gender analysis. This paper presented a new analysis method that controls for the structural factors that produce the essential differences in the policy needs between men and women. This paper argues that these gender gap factors have been overlooked in the previous studies, and demonstrated that the new analysis method generates significantly different results from those presented by the previous analysis methods.
