In this chapter presents a substantial extension of the ProFamy model by introducing and estimating changes in older adults’ disability status as well as related home-based care costs, with an illustrative application to China. Our extended model combines the projection of family structure, living arrangements, and disability statuses for elders aged 65+ with the projection of family structure and living arrangements for the younger population aged 0–64. The extended model projects not only disability statuses and home-based care needs and costs for older adults, but also age-sex-specific numbers and family household structures of the working-age population, i.e., the caregivers for the disabled elderly.
