A new sentence has been added, by Louis Henry, in comparison to the French first edition:
Un ménage complexe peut être décomposé en noyaux6, noyau principal 7, noyaux secondaires 8, ou en familles (112-1); la famille principale 9 est celle du chef de ménage; les autres sont appelées familles secondaires 10. On appelle dimension du ménage 11, ou taille du ménage11, le nombre de personnes composant le ménage.
Familiy (de)(re)composition is a matter which changed and is still changing. We even do not use the famille principale and famille secondaire expressions anymore in French. Thus, if the terminology is meaningful in other languages, it might be translated into English while referring to the French terminology. If you think that it had no reason to be translated to English in 1982, please change the wiki {{missing French term...}} above into {{untranslatable French term...}}. And justify shortly you decision, add your time-stamped signature by adding --~~~~ and go to the next missing term.--Nicolas Brouard 10:47, 20 April 2012 (CEST)
  • The Trilingual Demographic Dictionary Arabic-English-French of 1988 uses secondary family*. --Nicolas Brouard 19:17, 11 June 2012 (CEST)
The primary family 9★ is that of the household head when it is defined, the others are called secondary families 10★.
