The Family Life Education Programs in Taiwan require a minimum of 10 subjects and 20 credits for successful completion, and gender education is a compulsory component of the curriculums. The Gender Equality Education Act 2004, which aims to promote gender education, and the contents of gender education were investigated. The major findings are as follows: 1) "Gender education" in the Family Life Education Programs in Taiwan corresponds to "human sexuality" in the Family Life Education Programs of the National Council on Family Relations (NCFR)of the U.S. 2) Based on the Gender Equality Education Act, gender equality education is provided in Taiwanese schools and is integrated with all areas of learning. It is comprehensive and reformative, and its contents include "development of body and spirit," "self-confidence," "human relations," and "social and cultural contexts." 3) The contents of gender equality education in Taiwan are similar to those stated in the Guidelines for Comprehensive Sexuality Education-Kindergarten through 12th Grade (3^<rd> edition) by the Sexuality Information and Education Council of the United States. In both the above guidelines, the social and cultural contexts are reinforced.

The purpose of this paper is to examine transitions in the history of Japanese home economics. During World War II, the concept of seikatsu kagaku (the study of concrete measures to improve daily life) was propagated by the government and certain scholars as a means of improving the people's harsh wartime life. As a result, home economics became a more practically oriented and popular subject. However, after the war, particularly in the period of rapid economic growth from the 1950s to the 1970s, interest in the subject declined. This paper traces the rise and fall of home economics in Japan, focusing particularly on the relationship between seikatsu kagaku and wartime home economics, and the process by which the status of home economics declined in the postwar period.
