Altruism, household size and migration

Economics Letters, 1995
"This paper considers the effect of altruism on the relationship between the size of households and the migration decision. It is shown that when the parent has higher altruism toward her children, (i) the household is more likely to migrate, and (ii) the marginal gain from migration increases as the size of the household increases."

Projections of households and household populations by household size propensities

Journal of the Australian Population Association, 1992
"This paper describes a method for constructing projections of numbers of households of various types and the numbers of people in that structure. The method uses the concept of household size propensity.... Using data from the 1981 and 1986 Censuses and population projections to the year 2011, the method produces projections of Australian households ...

Poisson Distribution: A Model for Estimating Households by Household Size

Population Research and Policy Review, 2020
The number of people living in a household is associated with infrastructure demand such as transportation and water usage. As a result, infrastructure planners often require detail about the number of households by size-of-household at very small levels of geography (census tract or smaller) to calibrate their models. In addition, these data must also

Household size and the poisson distribution

Journal of the Australian Population Association, 1999
Household size distributions for 104 countries are examined. It is shown that a Poisson distribution truncated at zero can be used to derive models of household size distribution. An improved fit is obtained by adding a linear term to the truncated Poisson model.

Effects of seasonality on household food availability among smallholder rural households in Kenya: Impact of land size, household size and composition

Ecology of Food and Nutrition, 1998
A comparative observational survey of climatic seasonality on household food security among smallholder rural households was carried out involving 94 households in a unimodal climatic area in Kenya.

Household Size and Poverty

2020
Abstract This paper investigates the effect of household size, and in particular of the number of children of different age groups, on poverty, defined as being in a situation of low income. We apply various static and dynamic probit models to control for the endogeneity of the variables of interest and to account for unobserved ...
