    This study introduces a novel methodology combining scenario and microsimulation methods to forecast future household structures. The approach models diverse societal contexts to predict demographic changes and family dynamics.

    Area of Science:

    • Demography
    • Sociology
    • Computational Social Science

    Background:

    • Accurate forecasting of future household structures is crucial for policy-making and resource allocation.
    • Existing models may not fully capture the complex interplay between societal changes and household dynamics.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and present a robust methodological framework for estimating and analyzing future household structures.
    • To integrate scenario planning with microsimulation for enhanced predictive accuracy.

    Main Methods:

    • Scenario method: Construction of diverse societal context scenarios representing potential future environments.
    • Hypothesis generation: Tentative derivation of relationships between societal contexts and household processes.
    • Microsimulation: Calculation of future household structures based on postulated input parameters derived from scenarios.

    Main Results:

    • The study emphasizes the methodological advancements rather than specific numerical outcomes.
    • The integrated approach provides a flexible framework for exploring various future household compositions.
    • Illustrative examples demonstrate the application of the methodology.

    Conclusions:

    • The combined scenario and microsimulation approach offers a powerful tool for understanding potential future household structures.
    • This methodology allows for the exploration of how societal shifts may impact demographic trends.
    • Further research can refine the hypotheses and parameters for more precise future household projections.
