Gender Budget Analysis for Upper Austria. Selected Results

Within the scope of a pilot study, WIFO examined chapters of the household of Upper Austria from a gender perspective (gender budget analysis). Education, health and sports were analysed by a number of analysis methods. Using an expenditure incidence analysis, the state's spending on health was allocated between men and women. An income analysis provided data on the quantity and quality of employment ratios in the education sector. In order to visualise links between public expenditure and unpaid work (a key aspect of gender budgety analyses), the importance of voluntary work was studied in greater detail.
