Considerations for the definitions and classification of households and families and related variables for the 1990 round of censuses.
Questions related to the definition and classification of households and families in the 1990 census round in the Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) region are discussed. The author concludes that "the recommendations for the 1980 censuses of population and housing in the ECE region were largely adequate and should not be substantially revised other than a need to more precisely and concisely state the definition....While there is a demonstrated need to close some information gaps, such as through the provision of longitudinal family data using retrospective surveys, there is also a great need to more effectively use currently available cross-sectional data bases."
