摘要	Projections of energy demand over the coming decades are critically important to understanding and anticipating future resource requirements and environmental impacts such as acid rain, local air pollution, and climate change (e.g., Nakicenovic et al. 2000). Household consumption of energy for space heating and cooling, lighting, appliances, transportation, and other energy services is a key driver of national energy demand. A number of demographic factors such as population size, age structure, and levels of urbanization have potentially important direct and indirect influences on household demand. For example, aging may have direct consequences since energy consumption tends to change over the lifespan (Yamasaki and Tominaga 1997); aging could also have indirect impacts through an associated decline in household size and consequently a loss of economies of scale in energy use at the household level. However, the treatment of population-related variables in energy projections has been essentially limited to considerations of changes in population size alone (O'Neill, MacKellar, and Lutz 2001; Gaffin 1998), even though significant changes in other factors, especially age structure, are anticipated in all regions of the world.
