Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) examines issues of gender equality. In general it investigates how various fiscal measures affect women and men separately. The network will concentrate specifically on the economic autonomy of women, and on the income distribution between women and men.

Grants to PhD Students
PhD students from a Nordic or Baltic country can apply for grants to cover travel, accommodation and registration fee at the January conference. Priority will be given to students submitting papers, but a paper is not a necessary condition to obtain the grant.
To apply, please send a short description of the subject of your thesis, with an explanation of its relevance to gender budgeting, together with a recommendation from your supervisor:
Electronically: to genderbud@econ.uio.no
By ordinary mail: to Hilde Bojer, POB 1095 Blindern, N-0317 Oslo, Norway
not later than 1. October 2007.
The paper or thesis does not have to concern metods of gender budgeting directly. Research concerning the different positions of women and men in the economy is a necessary basis for gender responsive budgeting, and therefore of interest. Please look up the description of the three working groups of the network to see examples of relevant topics.
