title: Using census data for household projections:  an overview of results from the HOMES Project.
abstract: "This article provides an overview of the household projection model HOMES [a computer model developed to forecast the number and characteristics of households] and presents new household projections for six countries--China, Indonesia, Japan, the Republic of Korea, Thailand, and the Philippines.  The household projections are based on recently released population projections from The World Bank and on rules governing living arrangements quantified with the latest available census or demographic survey for each country.  Growth in the number of households to the year 2030 is projected along with changes in household membership and the dependency burden."
