Abstract
In the former papers (20, 76-79, 23, 400-403, 23, 404-407), Sakai reported some phases of home management in farmers', shopkeepers', wage-earners' and husband-wife-together-working families' living. In this paper, the authors viewed home management problems of manual workers' wives. One hundred wives were picked out from manual workers, and their abilities of home management were examined by the same method as the former.
The results are as follows :
1) As for the home management abilities, manual workers' wives were more proficient than manual workers' wage-earners' wives in general.
2) As for the home management actions they were proficient in controlling and were deficient in directing.
3) As for the use of resources in home management, they were interested in clothing and money, and were deficient in the use of facilities.
