The 1st International Conference and Training Workshop on Household and Living Arrangement Projections for Informed Decision-Making was held on May 9-11, 2019 in Beijing, jointly organized by CPDRC, CHADS\/NSD at PKU, and CFPR at NUS.<\/p>\r\n<p>Household projection is becoming a major research topic with high policy and business relevance. Population growth has slowed down in many countries around the world, with some already experiencing negative growth. In the meantime, households are undergoing major transformations, and numbers of households with various types are increasing quickly due to reduction. of household size. Household is the basic unit for analysing energy consumption, the demands of housing, home-consumer goods, eldercare, many other services, and planning of public facilities. Traditional approaches to population projections often dismiss household information, and may thus end up with inaccurate projections of home-based energy demands, housing, home-consumer goods and services that inadvertently mislead policymakers and market analysts.<\/p>\r\n<p>As a leading tool in the field of household projections, the ProFamy extended cohort- component method\/software simultaneously projects households of various types and sizes, considering the sex and age and living arrangements distributions of all individual members of the population under study. So far, scholars from 27 countries, UNFPA and World Bank have downloaded and used ProFamy free software for their projects on household and living arrangement projections to understand topics such as future changes of household structure, old-age living arrangements and care needs\/costs, trends of population aging and human capital, future demands of energy, housing, furniture, automobiles and their environmental implications.<\/p>\r\n<p>In addition to the same basic input data that standard population projections require, the main task of data preparation in order to use the ProFamy extended cohort-component method\/software for household and living arrangement projections, is to estimate the age-sex-specific standard schedules of the occurrence\/exposure (o\/e) rates of marriage\/union formation and dissolutions and the age-parity-specific o\/e rates of marital and non-marital fertility. Estimations of these age-sex-specific o\/e rates can be relatively easily done by employing recently developed ProFamy user-friendly and free R software DemoRates (www.profamy.com.cn).<\/p>\r\n<p>This conference will present the cutting-edge development in the methods and applications of household and living arrangement projections, and will also provide valuable opportunity for interested participants to learn about the ProFamy and the newly developed R software DemoRates. Conference participation is open to the public and free of charge.<\/p>\r\n<h5><strong>Conference Organisation Committee<\/strong><\/h5>\r\n<p>Associate Professor Feng Qiushi (Chair), Deputy Director, CFPR, NUS<\/p>\r\n<p>Prof Jean Yeung, Founding Director, CFPR, NUS<\/p>\r\n<p>Dr. Joelle Fong, Assistant Professor, LKY School of Public Policy, NUS<\/p>\r\n<p>Prof Zeng Yi, Founding Director, CHADS, NSD\/PKU<\/p>\r\n<p>Dr. Zhang Xuying, Deputy Director, CPDRC<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<h5><strong>Conference Secretaries<\/strong><\/h5>\r\n<p>Ms. Lu Siyao (Email: <a href=\"mailto:lusiyao@nus.edu.sg\">lusiyao@nus.edu.sg<\/a>)<\/p>\r\n<p>Ms. Zuraihah Binte Mohamad (Email: <a href=\"mailto:zuraihah@nus.edu.sg\">zuraihah@nus.edu.sg<\/a>)<\/p>\r\n<p>Ms. Syed Rabia (Email: <a href=\"mailto:fassyed@nus.edu.sg\">fassyed@nus.edu.sg<\/a>)<\/p>\r\n<p>Ms. Teo Hui Qing Amy (Email: <a href=\"mailto:zuraihah@nus.edu.sg\">fasthqa@nus.edu.sg<\/a>)<\/p>\r\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n<p><a role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2022\/01\/Full-Conference-Programme-4.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> View the Full Programme <\/a> <a role=\"button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nrWvhVAKAb8&amp;list=PLRbumv6MRPjlGwVK9sByxY2Lv0TMFUrxv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> View Recordings <\/a><\/p>\r\n<h2>Keynote speakers and Distinguished Guests<\/h2>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Zeng-Yi-1-circle\" src=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/11\/Zeng-Yi-1-circle-150x150.png\" alt=\"Zeng-Yi-1-circle\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h5>Professor Zeng Yi<\/h5>\r\n<p>Peking University and Duke University &amp; Foreign Member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Picture1-circle\" src=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/11\/Picture1-circle-150x150.png\" alt=\"Picture1-circle\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h5>Professor Frans Willekens<\/h5>\r\n<p>University of Groningen &amp; Member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Emiy-Grundy-300x300-circle\" src=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/11\/Emiy-Grundy-300x300-circle-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Emiy-Grundy-300x300-circle\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h5>Professor Emily Grundy<\/h5>\r\n<p>University of Essex &amp; Fellow of British Academy<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"MurphyMichael-circle\" src=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/11\/MurphyMichael-circle-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"MurphyMichael-circle\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h5>Professor Michael Murphy<\/h5>\r\n<p>The London School of Economics and Political Science &amp; Fellow of British Academy<\/p>\r\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Jorge-Bravo-10\" src=\"https:\/\/fass.nus.edu.sg\/cfpr\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/17\/2021\/11\/Jorge-Bravo-10-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"Jorge-Bravo-10\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/p>\r\n<h5>Dr Jorge H.
