This study on the gender responsive budgeting in Pasay City is

level and household-level data as of 2005 to determine whether the City’s
programs and budgets have been responsive to gender differentials in the different
aspects of quality of life of women and men. Specifically, it analyzed if there are
significant differences in the social and economic situation of women
and men, girls and boys.
