摘要：
A government's budget represents a statement of its priorities. During the past 25 years, the international community has recognized that gender equality is essential for sustainable economic growth and full social development, and it has called upon nations to use their budgets to promote gender-equitable resource allocation and revenue generation. More than 60 countries have answered this call by implementing gencler-responsive budgets at the national and subnational levels. However, gencler-responsive budgeting is virtually unheard of among public finance scholars and U.S. public administration scholars and practitioners. Here we define gencler-responsive budgeting, discuss the need for it, describe the lessons learned, and discuss its potential as a budget reform. We hope our commentary will bring gencler-responsive budgeting into the mainstream of research in the U.S. public administration community and into the practice of government budgeting.
