[[A model of parent/child coresidence, taking into account postnuptial competition]].

An analysis of coresidence patterns among parents and their children is presented. The author develops a two-sex model to show that what he defines as coresidability "is affected not only by the competition among children's siblings concerning the coresidence with their parents, but also by the competition between the siblings of the children and the siblings of children's spouses concerning the coresidence with parents and by the competition between the parents and the parents of children's spouses concerning the coresidence with their children."

Recent change in prevalence of parent-child co-residence in Japan.

"Co-residence of parents and grown-up (especially married) children has been one of the most important factors that affect the trends in household formation in recent Japan. This article reports the proportion co-residing...using a nation-wide large-sample household survey data set containing about 300,000 persons in each year.... The proportion of parents who co-reside with children...had remarkably decreased during the period 1975 to 1985, especially for younger elders regardless of their marital status.... On the contrary, the proportion co-residing of married children aged 20-39 with their parents had been constant or slightly rising...during the same period. These two opposite trends can be interpreted as follows: though the preference for co-residence has declined both for parents and for children, the child availability for parents has barely changed and the downward trend in preference has directly appeared [in] the proportion co-residing; while the parent availability for children has increased owing to the decrease in number of siblings to be balanced with the decreasing preference."

[A model of structural transition based on the molecular-type population structure theorem].

The author presents a model of structural transition based on a theorem of molecular-type population structure. "Household or family has been sometimes called [a] demographic molecule, when compared with the unit of ordinary population, i.e., a person, which in turn [is called a] demographic atom. Molecular population structure is defined by the author as the age structure of the population composed of people included in certain [sorts] of molecules. The molecular age structure is basically represented by matrices whose elements...are the numbers of people aged i whose other member person in the same molecule, for example mother, is aged j."
