Gender budgeting in Europe has attracted considerable attention over the last few decades. A burgeoning momentum during the early 2000s saw a full range of stakeholders promote a broad swathe of activities under the rubric of gender budgeting. At that time there was an expectation that gender budgeting would ‘liberate’ and ‘elevate’ gender, and gender mainstreaming, to the level of macroeconomic policy and thus expedite the realisation of oft-projected gender equality goals (Holvoet, 2006). In return, advocates offered that it would contribute to the goals of efficiency, economy and effectiveness (Sharp, 2003). This paper provides an overview of gender budgeting in Europe, with a particular focus on institutional mechanisms and operational methodologies. In some instances, national and regional governments have legislated for gender budgeting (viz. Austria, Belgium, Andalucía), many have initiated changes to the institutions of the budget (viz. Albania, Belgium, Iceland), while others have recommitted to the fundamental concept of marrying equality policy with economic policy (viz. Sweden, Finland, Iceland). Alongside this, civil society organisations have brought the focus squarely on revenue policy, particularly taxation, and on welfare benefits.
