title: Household modelling and forecasting--dynamic approaches with use of linked census data.
abstract: The author proposes improved methods of household modeling, using dynamic models rather than the headship rate method.  "Reasons are discussed why this method has been criticised in recent years.... The advantages of dynamic models are discussed, and a number of alternative dynamic models of household formation and dissolution are presented.  The data source used is the Office of Population Censuses and Surveys 1% longitudinal study, which contains linked information on 500,000 people in the 1971 and 1981 England and Wales Censuses of Population."
