[Toward a projection of families according to their principal characteristics]
Abstract:
"This article describes the main ingredients of a methodology currently under development for projecting families [in Canada]--these groups of individuals linked by conjugal ties or by blood--according to their principal characteristics: family type and number/ages of children. The crux of this methodology is a multidimensional model which can be viewed as an extension of the traditional cohort-components model that incorporates the conjugal and parity statuses of women. With an appropriate generalization of the conjugal status variable and the addition of an appendage for dealing with the special case of step families, this model eventually allows one to shift from the number of women according to demographic status (stemming from cross-classifying conjugal status and numbers of children present) to those families according to their main characteristics."
