The impact of population growth on the standard of living: demo-economic scenarios for the Netherlands.

"The core of the article can be comprised in the question: Will population ageing become a threat to [the] standard of living [in the Netherlands]?... In order to explore a broad range of possibilities two strongly contrasting...scenarios serve as the starting-points of the analyses.... The question of whether the ageing process will jeopardize the standard of living, is, for each of the demographic projections, answered by comparing them with three economic targets.... The most important conclusion is that in the long run neither of the scenarios developed will generate an economic growth comparable with that of the 1960s and 1970s." (SUMMARY IN FRE)

Projecting household dynamics: a scenario-based microsimulation approach.

2 methods are brought together to estimate and analyze future household structure. Application of a scenario method results in the construction of differing context scenarios. These context scenarios function as alternative societal environments of the future household system. Given these context scenarios and, tentatively derived, general hypotheses relating relevant elements of the context scenarios and household processes, future input parameters of the household model are postulated. Subsequently, microsimulation is used to calculate the future household structure. Emphasis in the article is on methodology, rather than on substantive issues which have a mainly illustrative function.
