title: Nuptiality models and the two-sex problem in national population forecasts.
abstract: "This paper describes the two-sex problem in nuptiality models, focussing on applications in national population forecasts.  Requirements for a realistic two-sex marriage model are mentioned, together with additional considerations important in the context of official forecasts.  Recent nuptiality models violate the requirements to a certain extent and/or do not meet the additional considerations.  A new model, used in the 1980-based population forecasts of the Netherlands compiled by the Netherlands' Central Bureau of Statistics, is described."  (summary in FRE)
