Outline of Final Research Achievements

In order to contribute to the Government's current important strategy for expanding private consumption, we have developed a new household type classification which is capable of exploring the household structure. We believe that the new classification will be useful for businesses to improve their supply of consumption goods and services to consumers.
Then, we have analyzed chronological changes in the distribution of households according to the new household classification for 30 years from 1980 to 2010, and have found tremendous changes in household composition and their causes.
