Rola gospodarstw domowych na rynku

Abstract

The aim of this article is to characterize the relations between variable factors resulting from the economic development and the organization and economy of housekeeping. It has been indicated that the role of individual consumer as receiver is not so important in the market and that housekeeping acquires real importance in this field. The increase of this significance depends on such factors as: the development of industry, demographic changes, changes in the professional structure of the population, urbanization, increase of population's income level and the levelling of its distribution, and finally the consumer's attitudes. Supply seems to be the most important among the activities effected in housekeeping. Howover commercial services are in considerable disproportion with the needs in this field. This disproportion constitutes a basic obstacle in the rationalization process of housekeeping.
