"INAHSIM (Integrated Analytical Model for Household Simulation) is a micro simulation model, which was first developed in 1984-85 by using actual initial population and a set of transition probabilities derived from vital statistics and other national sample surveys.... This paper is based on a new application of INAHSIM, where initial population of the model has been prepared by using the simulation model itself. In this way, it is confirmed that INAHSIM is applicable to countries where initial population is not available from census or national household surveys.... New simulations were executed for [Japan for] the period of 1991-2040." (SUMMARY IN JPN)
Aspects of the fall in the number of births occurring in Japan in 1966 are explored. "The studies of 'Hinoe-uma' seem to have lacked...three perspectives; (1) the scope of demographic influence of 'Hinoe-uma', (2) demographic characteristics from the viewpoint of children who were born in the year 'Hinoe-uma', (3) socio-demographic influence of 'Hinoe-uma'. So we explored the various data regarding the three points in 1966 'Hinoe-uma'.... We confirmed by macro data that both Koreans and Chinese in Japan, Japanese in foreign countries and parents who had [an] illegitimate child in 'Hinoe-uma' were also influenced by superstitions [about] 'Hinoe-uma'." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
