Chapter Chapter 8 in Household and Living Arrangement Projections, 2014, pp 135-150 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, we apply the ProFamy extended cohort-component model to project U.S. households by race from 2000 to 2050. We address important questions such as: How may demographic changes alter the number and proportion of different types and sizes of households in future years? How may demographic changes affect the living arrangements of elderly persons? We also provide evidence of “family household momentum,” which is similar to the well-known phenomenon of population momentum.
