Gender analysis of local budgets in law enforcement and educational organizations of Russia

Abstract

The authors consider the problem of gender inequality in wages, which exists in Russia and throughout the world. A gender-sensitive budget is one way of overcoming gender inequality. The authors study the local budgets of two municipal organizations in the city of Novosibirsk, the local police and the local school, and analyze whether there is gender inequality in wages. They then provide an internal policy on ensuring equal pay for work of equal complexity, which can be used as a guide in state (budgetary) organizations in Russia when drawing up and executing their budgets.
