CHILD BUDGETING APPROACH AS A SOCIAL BUDGETING TYPE WITH SOME COUNTRY EXAMPLES
Abstract
To have a social government characteristic is one of the primarily aims for democratic states which are sensible to public values and bring synergy with the society. It can be said that human development level is high in the countries that have made important progress on this aim. The main public policy tool is the government budget for a country that has a high level of human development target. The public budget has to have some characteristics to achieve this target. Having a social budgeting approach and child budgeting approach to support it are a few of those characteristics. It can be initially emphasized that the social politics for children, who are adults of the future, will provide the main turning point for human development purpose. Especially countries that want to reach at a high level of human development, make progress for this kind of budgeting. Thus, social budgeting and child budgeting approaches are evaluated, and selected countries’ child budget applications are examined. It will be helpful to deal with these kinds of applications for policy makers to reach their development goals.
