Toksanbaeva 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.
