Afghanistan's Road to Economic Resilience: The Significance of Home Economics Education in Revitalizing Rural Economies

Abstract

The cutback in aid, declining confidence among investors, and displacing highly qualified professionals exacerbated poverty and unemployment. Although off budget and humanitarian aid helped to stabilize the private sector somewhat, fundamental constraints and a decline in foreign assistance continue to limit long term economic expansion. By giving communities helpful life skills, encouraging entrepreneurship, and bolstering economic resilience, especially in rural areas, home economics is an essential but underused method for ensuring lasting economic recovery. Through an emphasis on skill development, vocational training, rural entrepreneurship, and women's empowerment, this study investigates how home economics education contributes to economic resilience, especially in rural regions. By employing a combination of methods that include quantitative analysis of economic indicators and qualitative case research, the study pinpoints the practical ways home economics may encourage self sufficiency, alleviate poverty, and advance sustainable growth. The results show that Afghanistan may significantly increase rural production and economic involvement by incorporating contemporary farming practices, entrepreneurial systems in the rural areas, and focused techniques training initiatives. This study provides policymakers with useful takeaways by emphasizing the necessity of including home economics in national development plans, supporting community based training initiatives, and encouraging international partnerships to revive Afghanistan's rural economies. The revolutionary advantages of home economics education in reviving Afghanistan's rural economy will be examined in this article, along with the integration of contemporary methods and global approaches, including those from China. According to our research, Afghanistan may reach a GDP of $100 billion by 2030 with focused investments and international cooperation, highlighting the strategic significance of including thorough home economics education in national development strategies.
