Conceived of as a contribution to the methodological debate over the relative desirability of measuring living arrangements in terms of households or in terms of individuals, the study develops formal relationships between household characteristics measured among the set of households and those measured among the set of individuals. Empirical evidence is presented about what difference it makes to use households rather than individuals as the units of analysis, and some measurement tools are developed for analyzing components of change in the prevalence of particular living arrangements. The latter are illustrated with results from representative national samples of the U.S. population in 1910 and 1980.

AbstractIPUMS Demographic and Health Surveys (IPUMS DHS), through its intuitive website (http://dhs.ipums.org/), eliminate barriers to overtime and cross‐national analyses with the DHS. IPUMS DHS recently released simplified reproductive calendar data. These calendar data are harmonized across samples, distinguish "not in universe" cases from "no" responses, and do not require destringing. Variable names are hot links to important documentation, such as survey‐question text and comparability concerns. Analysts can also select consistently coded variables relating to the woman, her household, and her social and environmental context without merging files.
