Abstract

This study surveyed women engaged in skills training courses to determine whether selected family management variables influenced their attendance of such courses and their successful completion of training. A sample of 161 women engaged in skills training courses for income generation offered by four NGOs in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, were surveyed by means of a questionnaire. The dependent variables were course attendance and rate of successful completion of training. The independent variables were selected as indicators of women's family management practices (such as participation in household production and child care, income, task and time orientation). It was concluded that the significant family management variables may be appropriate predictors of attendance and successful completion of skills training. Reassessment of the design of skills training courses is suggested to accommodate women's needs and restraints associated with the demands of their home environments. Further refinement of the significant variables is recommended.
