A very interesting and stimulating part of the LeTSGEPs’ Dissemination Plan concerns research publications. Despite LeTSGEPs is an implementation project, it deals with an innovative approach, i.e. the integration of Gender Budgeting and GEPs methodologies, that still need to be developed both at theoretical and practical level. At the same time, LeTSGEPs’ papers also represent a very powerful tool of dissemination and communication of LeTSGEPs project to a public from RPOs that no doubt represents its main target of audience. We are therefore very proud to present here to you the abstract and the proceedings of a paper presented at the STS Conference Graz 2021 by the Unimore Team on “Well-being Gender Budgeting in Academia”.
Abstract:
This paper focuses on the implementation of gender budgeting to tertiary education institutions with a double focus: well-being and gender equality. The paper starts with the definition of the main steps and objectives of Well-being gender budgeting, where attention is focused on how the approach can be extended to research-performing organizations. This approach has been embraced by the Leading Towards Sustainable Gender Equality Plans in research performing organisations [LeTSGEPs] project, funded by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation program. The paper then proceeds with a case study on how this approach can be applied to a specific higher education institution in Italy. Methodological issues are specifically addressed in the paper, making the different phases for well-being
gender budgeting implementation clear, within two preparatory steps (stakeholder mapping and the selection of capabilities) and four phases that include: Context analysis, Planning Analysis, Budget Reclassification and Implementation. The case study of the Gender Budgeting implementation at the University of Modena and Reggio Emilia provides a practical example of the outlined methodology and allows reflection upon the evidence and determinants of gender inequalities in academia on different dimensions of well-being. A clear interaction emerges between the context analysis and the analysis of costs by means of expenditure reclassification and analysis of the
earnings composition by level, gender and fixed and variable part of pay.
