Abstract
The family operates as a social organization and requires effective management to meet its diverse needs. The family manager or head is responsible for utilizing family resources efficiently, planning for economic goals, balancing income and expenses, and systematically providing for the family’s basic needs. This study aims to evaluate the role of home management in home economics development among the residents of Jalalabad city. The research adopts a descriptive statistic approach. The quantitative data was collected through questionnaires from family heads across nine different areas of Jalalabad city. Sampling was facilitated by friends and relatives using an accessible sampling method. The collected data was analyzed using SPSS version 24, employing descriptive statistical methods such as Pearson correlation, mean, percentage, count, and standard deviation. The study’s findings reveal that family economic management is critical for financial stability and development. Key elements of effective economic management include financial planning, budgeting, rational use of resources, and coordination for conflict resolution. The results indicate that families making sound financial decisions experience reduced conflicts and improved economic conditions through collective harmony. Furthermore, better communication among family members is found to be effective in managing and resolving financial challenges
