Home economics is the study of managing resources and tasks within the home. It includes topics like consumer education, home management, interior design, cooking, nutrition, child development, and more. It aims to teach skills for a healthy and happy life using all available resources. Contrary to common misconceptions, home economics involves more than just cooking and sewing - it integrates disciplines like science, technology, psychology and social sciences. It is a process-oriented field focused on more than just outputs, and is relevant for all people regardless of gender.
