Abstract
In Pakistan home economics was introduced in
1952 and graduates of this field have been
entering various vocational fields. However there
is a gross misconception among general public
and policy makers about its vocational
importance. This study was conducted to assess
the rate of utilizing home economics education for
gainful employment by students of Rana Liaqat Ali
Khan Government College Of Home Economics
Karachi who completed post graduate education
from 1960 to 2006. Sample was recruited through
snow ball technique and at least a few person
form each year were contacted to get information
about gainful employment of the respondent and
their classmates. It was revealed that during all
decades at least 60% of the postgraduates
entered gainful employment. It is hoped that
results of this study would help in clarifying
misconceptions about home economics and such
studies needs to be conducted on a larger scale.
