'''Household management''' is the act of overseeing the organizational, financial, and day-to-day operations of a house or estate. It differs from [[housekeeping]], which consists of the physical maintenance and cleaning of a house.
==India==
In many subcontinental cultures, the wife in a [[nuclear family]] holds the responsibility for household management. In a [[great house]], the [[domestic servant]] responsible for household management is the ''[[Majordomo (domestic staff)|majordomo]]'' or ''[[Butler|steward]]''. As such, the majordomo is the head of the household staff.
