Currently, in Japan and Korea, family characteristics and values are undergoing diversification. This is thought to affect students' attitudes toward family and home life. Accordingly, it is necessary to incorporate this situation into the teaching of home economics, in which students study the family and home life.
Therefore, in this study, we conducted a questionnaire survey of high school students in Japan and Korea to clarify the structure of learning about gender equality in home economics education and how gender roles are influenced.
It was discovered that, the greater the effect of learning about gender equality in home economics education, the more the students are faithful to school life, the more they emphasize the stability of life and work in the future, and the more they highlight the relationship between married couples in both countries. Furthermore, it became apparent that this consciousness has an influence on Japanese male students in that they take a positive stance about women's social participation.
