Synopsis

The fundamental transformation in family structure that is now occurring 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 multi-state 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 should be of interst to demographers, sociologists, social historians, statisticians and policy makers in this field.
