Home Economics is one of the most important (practical) areas of study.
Wikipedia defines Home Economics as 'a field of study that deals with home and economics, (which) deals with the relationship between individuals, families, communities, and the environment in which they live.'
Although home economics has been in the context of the home and household, but in the 21st century, Home Economics has been expanded to include the wider living environments as we better understand that the capacities, choices, and priorities of individuals and families impact at all levels, ranging from the household to the local and the global community.
The content of home economics courses vary, but may include: food, nutrition, and health; personal finance; family resource management and planning; textiles and clothing; shelter and housing; consumerism and consumer science; household management; design and technology; food science and hospitality; human development and family studies; communication and extension education and community services, among others.
