M.S. Theoretical Approach to a
Household and Its Socio-Economic Potential.
A
household
is defined and examined as the economic unit of a family. The
household's goals
are to guarantee that the family is economically viable and capable of
providing both existing and future labour resources. Inability of the
household
to achieve this goal necessitates changes in economic policies. Sign
that
economic viability of a family is being threatened include: life
expectancy at
birth is lower than age of economic activity; the fertility rate does
not
ensure maintaining current population size; and poverty exists in
households
that have working members.
