title: Growth and equity effects of changing demographic structures in the Netherlands:  simulations within a social accounting matrix.
abstract: "This paper deals with the economic consequences of a changing demography in an industrialized country, namely the Netherlands.  The analytical framework chosen is that of general equilibrium as statistically given by the social accounting matrix (SAM) in which we introduce households by size for the present economic demographic situation (1981) and for a future simulated situation (2010) featuring in particular a relative increase in one-person households (individualization).  The income (output) multipliers of both SAMs show a positive growth bias towards three and more person households and towards mining, public utilities, trade and banking."
