ABSTRACT

Gender budget i.e. gender sensible budget means considering gender impacts throughout the entire fiscal management process such as budgeting, implementation, and settlement, which is not limited to the budget of individual business units for women support or gender equality but also has a meaning as a system for overall fiscal management. The indigenization of the gender budget system in Korea is explained as follows. First, it was introduced by voluntary imitation of foreign institutions. Second, there was not enough resources for the setting of gender budget format, gender equality target system, the selection of business for gender budget, gender budget analysis, gender impact assessment, the improvement of implementation system, and the education of public officials. Third, women's organizations and female lawmakers played very significant roles in the introduction process. Fourth, after the introduction, the institution was repaired and the legal bases of the system was strengthened to expand the scope of the project. The gender budget system in Korea has been very distorted away from the original one, so it is recognized as a financial system for the parties concerned and has not affected the improvement of gender equality. The reasons are the apathy of lawmakers, the low status of the Ministry of Gender Equality and Family in charge of the issue, the lack of the education for public officials and the development of gender analysis techniques, and the weak awareness of the Korean society of the need to improve gender equality.
