Sustainable Development Goals and Home Economics

In September 2015, the UN approved the United Nations Agenda, which provides comprehensive set of initiatives in order to foster long-term development. The seventeen goals act as the foundation for this program. The main goal of this essay is to investigate the relationship between home economics and the SDGs. Home economics, which have historically been associated with the management of household resources, are essential to the advancement of several SDGs, especially those pertaining to gender equality, health and well-being, poverty alleviation, and sustainable consumption. Finding ways to promote change becomes crucial for success as the agenda moves forward. Home economics has a lot of potential to contribute significantly in this area. The present study looks at how home economics might help create progress toward achieving some of the SDGs by 2030. Since home economics focuses on improving the well-being of individuals, families, and communities a goal that is in line with many SDGs the findings show a high correlation between the SDGs and home economics. The secondary data used in this work was collected between 1990 and 2024.
