The author investigated the Unesco report of "WORLD SURVEY OF HOME AND FAMILY EDUCATION WITHIN FORMAL EDUCATION" and compared some phases of the survey with those of Japanese homemaking education. In Part I, the composition of the survey, curriculum development, curriculum content, participation of boys in home economics education have been studied It is recommended that the findings of the report which has been worked out by co-operation of Unesco and I.F.H.E., be utilized for Japanese homemaking education. The close examining of the results of the past and present levels of regard for home economics education indicates an awareness, amongst the majority of countries in the world, of clear relationship between effective teaching of home economics and general welfare of the people. Further development will be obtainable by clarifying roles, objectives and subject matter content of homemaking education in the changing Japanese society. It is hoped that further studies to give boys suitable homemaking education in secondary schools will be developed. Associations, teaching institutions and governmental institutions who are engaged in homemaking education should co-operate for the development of Japanese homemaking education.
