| Annotation | Some aspects of the future are more predictable than others, and may be forecast with greater confidence. If the trends and patterns observed in the first half of the 1990s were to apply to future decades, the population structure in the different family types in the UK would undergo a number of changes. Research by the authors at the London School of Economics (LSE) has forecast the number of adults and children who would be living in single, married, cohabiting, divorced, or lone parent families under alternative scenarios about trends in family formation and dissolution.
