Abstract
Home economists believe that amidst today’s challenges to human wellness home economics has
great potential to ameliorate the situation. Evidences albeit sporadic, are found for potential of
home economics to contribute to human wellness. Experts realize the need for kind of education
that home economics has been providing since more than a century. However recognition of home
economics itself as the kind of education needed today is still rare. This paper reviewed the reports
and evidences of relevant situations and tried to explore the actions needed for realization of
potential of home economics to contribute to human wellness. It emerges that philosophical
reviews indicating potential of home economics are relatively easier to find than empirical studies
verifying contribution of home economics education to human wellness. Large scale trials or
systematic reviews providing robust evidence for potential of home economics probably have never
been conducted. Various strategies including conduction of such trials are given for unveiling home
economics.
