title: [[Projection of household conditions of the elderly in Japan]].
abstract: "The household condition of the elderly [in Japan]...was estimated for the years 1975, 1980, 1985 and 1990, and was projected for the years 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010, using the population census tabulations and the future population by age and sex projected in 1992.... The population aged 65 and over belonging to a 'couple only household' (5,905 thousand) is projected to surpass the population belonging to a 'household with their child' (4,260 thousand) in 2010 for males, while the latter will be...more (6,812 thousand) than the former (5,115 thousand) for females in the same year.  The elderly population aged 65 and over in one-person households is projected to increase more remarkably for males than females." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
