The National University of Singapore’s Centre for Family and Population Research (CFPR) will hold the 2^nd International Conference and Training Workshop on Household and Living Arrangement Projections for Informed Decision-Making from 13-14 January 2022. The event will be online and will focus on the dynamics of households and living arrangements in Asia and the use and application of household projection software ProFamy. Participation is open to the public and free of charge.

The household is a basic unit of analysis for policy and business research, applicable in a wide variety of sectors such as energy consumption, income and expenditure, access to healthcare, and planning of public facilities. The slowdown of population growth in many countries has reduced the size of the average household. Traditional approaches to household projection often disregard household information, often leading to inaccurate projections of energy demands, housing, and home-based consumer goods. These inaccuracies compound and could mislead policymakers and market analysts.

The conference and training program will present the latest developments in the methods and applications of household and living arrangement projections and will provide a valuable opportunity for participants to learn about ProFamy and the latest developments in the dynamics of households and living arrangements in Asia.
