Le Réseau des traducteurs et traductrices en éducation rejette le terme «économie familiale» qui tend à disparaître en raison de la notion de famille qu'il comporte et qui restreint à tort le sens du terme. Quant au terme "sciences domestiques", d'usage peu fréquent, c'est un euphémisme qui peut induire en erreur, car il ne s'agit pas à proprement parler d'une «science». 4, record 5, French, - %C3%A9conomie%20domestique
