The relationship between the household size and structure and China's population policy is also analyzed in the paper. Two different categories of socioeconomic factors have been identified which operate in opposition to each other, influencing the increase and decrease in the desirability of co-residence of domestic groups. The future household size and structure is determined by both of them.展开更多
