The composition of a household shapes the experience lived by its members and provides some broad indications of their social and economic well-being (Deaton, Ruiz-Castillo and Thomas, 1989). Early studies on household dynamics in the Arab region focused on the move away from a tradition of extended family households to nuclear households (Barakat, 1985). More recently, Khadr and El-Zeini (2003) confirmed that the nuclear family has become the most common living arrangement in the region.
