title: [[Demographic foundations of elderly living arrangements:  a simulation study of intergenerational coresidence]].
abstract: "In this paper we employ family status life tables to assess the effects of demographic processes on family composition and to reveal trends in elderly living arrangements [in Taiwan]. We found that further declining fertility and changing nuptiality are responsible for the prevalence of nuclear family composition.  [The] increasing proportion of nuclear families indicates a decreasing probability [of] elderly parents living with their married children.  In addition, according to the current nuptiality trends, the increasing proportion of women of all ages who remain [unmarried] will strengthen its effects on family composition in the near future."
