Abstract

This bibliometric analysis explores the relationship between “gender budgeting” and “gender equality”, based on data retrieved from Scopus on September, 23rd 2024, using the query (TITLE-ABS-KEY ("Gender Budgeting") AND TITLE-ABS-KEY ("Gender Equality") AND (LIMIT-TO (LANGUAGE, "English"). The study maps key thematic clusters using VOSviewer and R studio, focusing on the frequency and co-occurrence of terms. Gender budgeting (f=20) and gender equality (f=8) were the most prominent terms. Gender budgeting and gender equality are interconnected through exacerbated connections. Gender budgeting predominates in discussions, linking policy formulation, execution tactics, and socio-economic effects. Gender equality, conversely, progresses through academic discourse and fosters advancements in society gender policy. These interconnections underscore the necessity of comprehending and overcoming gender inequities in policy formulation.
