The document summarizes recent developments in gender budgeting in Canada. It discusses the institutional context for gender budgeting in the Canadian government, including leadership and implementation across departments. It outlines commitments made in Budget 2017 to conduct a gender-based analysis of budgetary measures. Key challenges in developing the first gender statement for Budget 2017 included the process already being underway and limited knowledge of gender budgeting. Lessons learned include the need for political will and a solid institutional framework to support gender mainstreaming in public policy long-term.

The document discusses Spain's approach to gender budgeting. It provides details on: 1) Spain's legal and policy framework for mainstreaming gender equality, including laws requiring gender impact assessments of budgets. 2) The process used to analyze 103 of Spain's 209 expenditure programs for their gender impacts and incorporate gender perspectives into budget reporting. 3) An example of the gender budgeting analysis conducted on Program 231G for childhood and family care, which identifies relevant policy objectives, measures, and indicators to assess impacts on gender equality.

Panel 5.Peter Kamau Kanco, Cs Engagement In The Ihp+ Processes In Kenya

ihp

This document summarizes civil society engagement in Kenya's IHP+ processes. It notes that Kenya has one policy direction, one national strategic plan, and one coordinating body for health through the Ministry of Health. It discusses CSO representation in the Health Sector Coordinating Committee and their role in providing input but limited decision-making power. It identifies challenges including the government-driven nature of IHP+, lack of defined CSO engagement, and political issues that have affected coordination. Recommendations include strengthening CSO guidelines, involvement, and adopting a human rights approach to ensure equitable resources.

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 outlines global initiatives to improve newborn survival and health in Uganda. It discusses several linked initiatives including Every Woman Every Child, A Promise Renewed, Born Too Soon, and the UN Commission on Life Saving Commodities. In Uganda, 147,000 children die each year including 33,000 within the first day of birth. Progress in reducing mortality has been slower for newborns than other groups. The document proposes the EVERY NEWBORN action plan to fit within existing initiatives and accelerate reductions in newborn deaths through country-led plans, transparency, and global support.

Poplation policy france final 2019

Margubur Rahaman

This document discusses France's population policies over time. It notes that France initially implemented pro-natalist policies in 1939 to encourage large families, offering incentives like cash payments and banning contraceptives. Starting in the 1960s, policies shifted to support working mothers and gender equality by expanding childcare. Current policies aim to improve work-life balance for both men and women through measures like paternity leave, parental leave, and reduced working hours. The document concludes that France's evolving family policies have helped maintain fertility rates by creating a more family-friendly environment.

What Does the Budget 2004-2005 Have for Children?

HAQ: Centre for Child Rights

The document analyzes India's Union Budget for 2004-2005 from the perspective of budget allocations that benefit children. It finds that only 2.44% of the total budget was allocated for children, which may not be sufficient to meet the needs of children who make up 40% of India's population. The largest allocation was for the Integrated Child Development Services program, though the 8.2% decline from the previous year could impact universalization goals. Overall, the analysis raises concerns that budget allocations for children may not be adequate to fulfill India's commitments to children's rights.

Budget for Children in the Union Budget 2012-13

HAQ: Centre for Child Rights

The document summarizes key findings from India's 2012-2013 Union Budget as it relates to children (BfC). Some of the main points include: - The BfC increased by 0.3% but was below the inflation rate of 6.6%. Spending on development and health increased while protection declined. - Education received the largest share but declined slightly. Malnutrition programs were recognized but lacked additional funding. - Increases were seen in ICDS, immunization, and health sector manufacturing but other programs like ICDS and education faced cuts. Overall the budget fell short of actual needs for children.

Influencing Parliament on child maltreatment, prevention and early years.

BASPCAN

The document discusses influencing parliament on issues related to child maltreatment, prevention, and early years. It outlines the CEO's 19 years of research showing maltreatment is a prime cause of future violence and their work influencing UK parliament. This includes creating a 70/30 alliance to reduce child maltreatment by 70% by 2030, authoring reports, and establishing all party parliamentary groups. It also discusses overcoming barriers to prevention and a current project testing a comprehensive preventative approach across 6 UK areas to prove it saves money in 5 years. In Scotland, the CEO helped establish a coalition that led to new legislation and commitments on prevention.

What Does The Budget 2005-2006 Have For Children?

HAQ: Centre for Child Rights

There are over 44 crore children (0-18 years) in India who constitute more than 40 % of the country’s population. Of these, 22 crore are between the age of 6-14 years. Needless to say, development programmes that are meant for the society as at large are also going to benefit children, as they will to all other sections of society. However, from time-to-time the government makes special commitments towards children. A Budgetary analysis is an effective tool for reconciling child specific governmental policy and programme commitments with financial commitments made for the same. Indeed, are we putting our money where our mouth is?

HAQ: Centre for Child Rights is grateful to all the child rights groups who showed their interest and willingness to participate in the National Consultation on “Children & Governance: In the Context of Federalism and Devolution”. The Consultation was very timely as it coincided with the ongoing debate on implementation of the Fourteenth Finance Commission Recommendations. This debate has also been triggered due to the suddenness with which these recommendations have been brought into and voices of discomfort being around these recommendations raised by some of the significant States.

McGuinness Institute

Three key points from the document: 1. The document reflects on progress made in addressing child poverty in New Zealand over the past 5 years since an Expert Advisory Group (EAG) issued 78 recommendations. While some recommendations have been implemented, much remains unchanged. 2. Key work by the Children's Commissioner has included establishing an annual Child Poverty Monitor to track rates, and providing guidance to philanthropists and schools on supporting children in poverty. 3. The Commissioner argues that more action is needed, especially a comprehensive government plan with targets to reduce child poverty rates. The status quo is no longer acceptable if New Zealand wants better child outcomes.

Globally inclusive approaches to measurement_Shigehiro Oishi.pdf

StatsCommunications

This document discusses measurement issues in comparing well-being and culture across countries. It covers 5 main issues: 1) Response styles may not fully explain differences in life satisfaction scores between countries. 2) Well-being items do not always function the same way across cultures, though lack of measurement equivalence only partly explains score differences. 3) Self-presentation and 4) judgmental/memory biases may also contribute to differences to a small-moderate degree. 5) The meaning and desirability of happiness differs across cultures, which can further impact scores. The document also advocates developing indigenous well-being measures that are meaningful within each local context.

Globally inclusive approaches to measurement_Erhabor Idemudia.pdf

StatsCommunications

This document discusses considerations for developing quality of life measures from an African perspective. It notes that many existing QoL instruments were developed for Western populations and do not account for cultural differences. In Africa, concepts like happiness are more closely tied to collective well-being and social harmony rather than individualism. The document also outlines some key African beliefs, like Ubuntu, which emphasizes interconnectedness. It argues that QoL measures for Africa must assess both objective and subjective domains, and be grounded in cultural values like family, community, and spirituality rather than only Western individualistic norms. Developing culturally appropriate QoL measures is important for capturing well-being in a meaningful way.

Stats NZ has taken several steps to incorporate Māori perspectives when measuring quality of life and well-being in New Zealand. This includes developing the Te Kupenga Māori social survey, incorporating some concepts from Te Kupenga into the General Social Survey, working with partners on using administrative data for Māori, and trialling iwi-led data collections for the Census. Te Kupenga uses frameworks like Whare Tapu Whā and focuses on cultural well-being areas like spirituality, customs, te reo Māori, and social connectedness. It provides statistics on these areas as well as demographics, paid work, health, and other topics from a Māori

The document discusses Italy's inclusion of domain satisfaction indicators in its framework for measuring well-being (BES). It provides background on Italy's system of social surveys and outlines the development of the BES project, which aims to measure equitable and sustainable well-being. The BES framework includes 12 domains of well-being and over 150 indicators, including subjective well-being indicators and indicators measuring satisfaction within other domains like health, work, relationships, safety, environment and more. The document presents examples of domain satisfaction indicators and trends over time in areas like friends relations and landscape satisfaction.

StatsCommunications

Domain satisfaction measures provide valid and useful information about people's lives beyond overall life satisfaction. Research has found that domain satisfaction captures different aspects of well-being than objective indicators alone, and that different life domains contribute differently to individual happiness. While domain satisfaction may be socially constructed and culturally variable, current policy efforts can still benefit from considering subjective experiences of satisfaction across life domains. Future research opportunities include exploring the multidimensional relationships between domain satisfaction and broader concepts of well-being.

StatsCommunications

Domains of life are important for understanding life satisfaction and informing better policymaking. The document discusses four key points: 1) It is important to consider multiple domains of life, not just economic factors, to understand people's overall well-being. 2) Domains of life represent different areas that people spend their time and where they make decisions, such as family, health, work, community. 3) Considering domains of life can provide insight into life satisfaction and help create more effective policies in areas like health, education, and social programs. 4) Current government institutions and policies can be better aligned to impact the domains of life that influence overall life satisfaction.

This document summarizes Sabrina Twilhaar's presentation on new frontiers in subjective well-being measurement for children. It discusses Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory and how children's well-being is influenced by multiple levels including micro (family, peers), meso (school), exo (neighborhood), and macro (culture, economy) systems. It then reviews literature on conceptualizing and measuring hedonic and eudaimonic well-being in children, noting gaps like a focus on life satisfaction over affect. Research finds children's well-being varies by age and sex, and is associated with family relationships and bullying. Overall, more work is needed to develop valid cross-cultural measures of multiple

This document summarizes recent research on measuring subjective well-being, with a focus on measuring how worthwhile people feel the things they do in life are. Some key findings include: - In the UK, on average people rate their sense that the things they do are worthwhile at 7.86 out of 10, while 3.8% rate it between 0-4 out of 10. - People in their late 60s and early 70s report the highest sense of worthwhile, while people over 85 and those aged 18-24 report the lowest. - Factors associated with a higher sense of worthwhile include being older than 45/55, female, white, belonging to a religion, home ownership, higher income

Towards a more comprehensive measure of eudaimonia_Carol Graham.pdf

StatsCommunications

1) The document discusses measuring hope as a distinct dimension of well-being, in addition to evaluative, hedonic, and eudaimonic measures. Hope is strongly linked to future-oriented behavior and investing in one's future. 2) Research has found unequal distributions of hope can act as a barrier to health and prosperity. People with higher hope are more likely to aspire to and achieve education and avoid risky behaviors. They also earn more, have stronger social connections, and live longer, healthier lives. 3) Areas and communities with high despair show vulnerabilities like increased deaths of despair, misinformation, and radicalization. Restoring hope is important for mental health recovery and addressing societal threats
