háztartásban

Háztartásban is a Hungarian adverb formed from the noun háztartás (household, domestic economy) with the locative suffix -ban/-ben. It denotes location within the household or the domestic sphere and is used to refer to activities, phenomena, or references that occur in a family dwelling or within private life. Besides a literal meaning, háztartásban can be used metaphorically to discuss domestic or private life as opposed to public or institutional domains. The term appears in everyday language as well as in formal writing, including sociology, economics, and gender studies, especially when contrasting paid labor outside the home with unpaid domestic work inside the home.

Common usages include indicating where something happens or which sphere is being discussed. For example: háztartásban felmerülő kiadások (expenses arising in the household); a háztartásban végzett munka társadalmi értéke (the social value of work done in the household); a családtagok közötti feladatmegosztás a háztartásban megfigyelhető (the division of tasks among family members in the household is observable).

Related forms and notes: háztartásban élők (people living in the household), a háztartásban végzett munka (work performed in the household). The adverb is closely linked to discussions of domestic economy, unpaid labor, and the daily life of families, and is often contrasted with public or workplace contexts.
