abstract: 'The UK Women''s Budget Group (WBG) is a think tank focusing on the gender
implications of economic policy that attempts to influence UK government
policy to be more gender aware and adopt policies that decrease gender
inequality. The WBG has had the over-arching aim of encouraging the
government to take account of gender ill policy formation and to monitor
and hold itself accountable for the gender effects of its policies. At
the same time the WBG has advised the government on the gender effects
of particular policies and proposed inodifications to make policies more
supportive of (or less harmful to) women, and poor women in particular.
Such advice hag covered a number of areas, including fiscal policy, tax
credits, income support, financial Support for children, childcare
policy, maternity and parental leave, work-life balance policies,
pensions, pay equity, training and productivity, the use of indicators
and the collection of government statistics. While the government has
been keen to acknowledge the WBG''s influence on certain policies, in
other areas the WBG has had no discernible effect on policy. This
analysis focuses on several common gender issues, including taking
account of gendered life-courses, intra- as well as inter-household
gender inequalities, valuing and remunerating care and accounting for
unpaid work, to assess the WBG''s impact and possible reasons for success
or failure.'
