Why equitable budgeting is a prerequisite for economic efficiency
In short: Economist Maja Bosnic argues that public spending shouldn't just be about balancing books; it should be about fairness. This video explores how gender-responsive budgeting transforms public finance from a neutral exercise into a tool for both equality and better results.
Bosnic examines why demanding equitable budgets is a fundamental right. She highlights that when governments actively factor gender into their financial decisions, the outcome isn't just social justice—it also leads to more effective and efficient public spending.
The presentation draws on examples from nearly 80 countries that have already integrated these principles into their national finances to move beyond traditional models of public money.
