Abstract

For over three decades feminists have sought to challenge mainstream economic governance with a strategy of integrating a gender perspective into government spending and revenue raising. Invented in Australia, gender-responsive budgeting spread globally with feminists and their networks engaging with opportunities to expand the fiscal space for promoting gender equality. This chapter traces the evolution of gender-responsive budgeting in Australia and globally, to show how this innovation has emerged as a global movement. We consider how gender-responsive budgeting has been influenced by debates and reforms to economic governance, raising questions about its potential as a strategy for feminist change. The 2020-21 pandemic crisis again has brought gender inequality back into focus, opened a debate about rules of economic governance and given rise to renewed calls for gender-responsive budgeting.
