Abstract

This study assessed the determinants of homemakers' choice of household equipment for family utilization in Lagos state, Nigeria. Two research questions and two hypotheses guided the line of inquiry.

A sample of two hundred and forty-one (241) respondents was drawn from the population using proportional sampling technique. Using a descriptive survey design, data was collected through an adapted questionnaire. Mean, standard deviation and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation co-efficient (PPMC) statistical techniques were used to report the research questions and test the null hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. The findings revealed that income negatively correlated with homemakers' choice of household equipment (r=.-8.26), p
