At present, individualism, pluralism of life-styles, flexibility of working-life and family
biographies, changing values, family structures, demographic trends and globalisation
determine the daily life of each human being.
Educational issues and lessons conveying knowledge and competence on nutrition, health,
consumer behaviour, home management, time and money management, child care, caring
for elderly and others, all of these are vital for the maintenance of family household and
family life, to sustain a better quality of life.
