This study on housewives not employed full time reports on their self-recognition, practice and their effective results in the household work, in efforts to find causes as well as problems thereof. Some significant difference is found in their self-recognition, practice and its effective results in the household work in terms of age, wife-and-husband relationship, or seriousness of self-developmental attitudes. There are progressive, developmental steps distinctly observed deriving from the self-recognition of responsibility for the household work, the will of improving household work, the efforts directed to it, the self-esteem in the household work and the practicalization of their knowledge and skills thereof. Generally, the higher is their fundamental self-recognition maintained, the more effective is their will put to practice in progressive steps. In reality, however, the number of housewives not employed full time reaching the advanced steps decreases. The findings indicate the importance of recognition on the part of housewives that their vision of life should be managed practically and spontaneously in household work and that way should be devised to develop into practice their subjective decision of will, self-recognition of responsibility, and efforts directed toward it.
