Synopsis

The fundamental transformation in family structure that is now occuring in most Western nations, and the important social and economic consequences of this phenomenon, have provided a crucial stimulus to the recent development of family demography. The contributions to this volume document the substantial progress that has been made in a variety of areas, including the analysis of the family life cycle and the construction of multistate life tables and simulation models. The projection of the number and composition of families and households, a topic of great practical importance, is also addressed, and a number of refinements to the simple conventional approaches are proposed. The book is aimed at demographers, sociologists, social historians, statisticians and policy makers in this field.
