The atomization of households: why reducing family size has negative economic effects
La revolución demográfica que vive España eleva los gastos, agrava el problema de la vivienda e incrementa el riesgo de vulnerabilidad
Spain's population has grown from 38.6 million to 49.7 million over the past 35 years, according to INE data. During the same period, the number of households has increased from 11.8 million to 19.8 million. The population has risen by 29% while the number of households has grown by 68%. This trend is part of the second demographic transition, a concept theorized by sociologists Ron Lesthaeghe and Dirk van de Kaa in the 1980s.
