Jerome de Henau: Costing a Feminist Plan for a Caring EconomyAnna Elomäki
This document proposes a plan for universal free childcare in the UK to address lack of affordable, high-quality childcare and barriers to women's employment. It estimates the costs of providing childcare for all children aged 6 months to primary school by qualified staff paid comparable to teachers or living wages. While the total annual public investment would be £55 billion or £33 billion respectively, employment effects could create 1.7 million jobs and increased tax revenue would fund 88-96% of costs. Universal childcare would boost gender equality, economic growth, and is argued to be more beneficial than austerity policies.

This document discusses inclusive growth and the role of budgetary governance. It notes slow growth, joblessness, and income inequality since the crisis as motivation. The OECD is taking a multidimensional approach to inclusive growth looking at more than just income, focusing on distributional impacts, and broadening policy surveillance. Budgeting can contribute by moving to an inclusive growth framework, evaluating multi-dimensional impacts of budgets, and increasing inclusiveness and engagement in the policy-making process.
Budget for Outcomes - Stefan Kiss, Slovak RepublicOECD Governance
The document summarizes Slovakia's spending review process and goals of increasing efficiency and value for money in public expenditures. Key points include:
- Spending reviews target specific sectors (education, health) or functions (IT, wages) and aim to cut inefficient spending and promote high-value programs.
- Reviews are led by the Ministry of Finance but involve analytical units within line ministries to supplement existing budgeting processes.
- Measures identified in reviews become part of budget negotiations and documentation and some are incorporated into the annual state budget. Outcome indicators track progress in priority areas.

Good morning and welcome back to Energy Source, coming to you from New York, where the city swelters in its first heatwave of the season.
Nearly 80 million people were under alerts in the US north-east and midwest yesterday as temperatures in some municipalities reached record highs in a test to the country’s rickety power grid.
In other news, the Financial Times has a new Big Read this morning on Russia’s grip on nuclear power. Despite sanctions on its economy, the Kremlin continues to be an unrivalled exporter of nuclear power plants, building more than half of all reactors under construction globally. Read how Moscow is using these projects to wield global influence.
Today’s Energy Source dives into the latest Statistical Review of World Energy, the industry’s annual stocktake of global energy consumption. The report was published for more than 70 years by BP before it was passed over to the Energy Institute last year. The oil major remains a contributor.
Data Drill looks at a new analysis from the World Bank showing gas flaring is at a four-year high.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.

providing important tasks for social cohesion within
our society. Therefore, family policy plays a vital
role in our fast changing environment. The Federal
Ministry of Family and Youth wants to live up to its
role by ….
Outcome objective 1
Improve the equalization of burden between
families with children and those without
Outcome objective 2
Facilitate the reconciliation of work and family life

13. Gender Impact Assessment (1)
• All new laws and larger projects assessed with
respect to their possible gender impact
- Other impact dimensions: financial, environmental, social,
economic, children, consumer protection, administrative
burden
- = part of explanatory notes to (draft) bills
• Reference to respective ministry‘s outcome
objective
• Important source of information in political
decision-making process
• Evaluation of applicable impact dimensions after
a maximum of 5 years
13
14. Gender Impact Assessment (2)
• Assessment of gender impact is required when a
new law/larger project disproportionatly
impacts one gender in one of the following
dimensions:
- Payments to natural or legal persons
- Education, employment, income
- Unpaid work
- Public revenue
- Decision-making processes and bodies
- Health
14
15. GENDER IMPACT
Increase in the
number of parents
(especially mothers)
participating in the
job market
Additional jobs in
child-care facilities
especially for
women
Yet increase in the
share of male child
carers
15
Gender Impact Assessment (3)
305 Mio. for expansion of child care facilities
16. 16
Gender Impact Assessment (4)
Process and competences
- Line ministry drafts new legislation or plans larger project
- Regulatory impact assessment mandatory
- Requirement to evaluate whether there is a gender impact?
- Ministry of Finance assesses financial impact
- Federal Chancellery assesses quality of performance information
- Ministry of Education and Women‘s Affairs assesses
quality of gender impact analysis
- Final impact assessment as basis for discussion and approval
of new legislation in Parliament
- Annual report on evaluation results
17. Gender Impact Assessment (5)
First experience 2013 &2014
• Since January 1st 2013:
- 990 impact assessments,
- among them: 27 with identified substantial impact on gender
• The impact on gender was assessed in a minority
of new laws, projects etc.
- Because materiality thresholds were not exceeded
- Because the respective ministry underestimated the gender
impact ( recommendations in the quality assurance process).
• Ex-post evaluations are carried out within 5 years
(no results yet)
17
18. Preliminary Conclusion
• Strong legal basis and broad political consensus as
major success factor
• Gender Budgeting helped to raise awareness and
stimulated political discussion (parliamentary debate)
• Effectiveness of political decision-making becomes
transparent
18
19. Topics for discussion (GRB)
Topic Outlook
focus is on equality of
women and men
• male school drop-out-rate
• violence against women
special focus on gender cross-cutting issue in all budget
chapters
overarching strategy on
gender equality
development by Chancellery in process
indirect link between
budget and performance
information
focus is rather on outcomes than on
inputs
GRB as ”soft tool“? depending on parliamentary debate
and public discussion need for
further cultural change
19
20. Topics for discussion (GIA)
Topic Outlook
consistent and high
quality of gender impact
assessments
progress made with respect to quality
assurance by respective line ministries
gender as particulary
important impact
dimension
impact assessment regarding other
areas of inequality (e.g. people with
disabilities) are covered by ”social
impact dimension“
impact assessments are
done by non-gender
experts
further capacity building in progress
