Homemaking is mainly an American and Canadian term for the management of a home, otherwise known as housework, housekeeping, housewifery, home economics or household management. It is the act of overseeing the organizational, day-to-day operations of a house or estate, and the managing of other domestic concerns. A person in charge of the homemaking, who is not employed outside the home, in the US and Canada, is called a homemaker, a term for a housewife (or househusband), or a stay-at-home dad or stay-at-home mom.
