Nordic/Baltic Network on Gender Responsive Budgeting

The Purpose of this Research Network is to establish Gender Responsive Budgeting (GRB) as a field of research in the Nordic and Baltic countries, and preferably as part of Economics. This will be done by promoting the exchange of experience among researchers within economics as well as other disciplines, such as sociology and women's and gender studies.

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.
