A computer simulation of stem family development cycles indicates that mean family size and the proportions of stem and nuclear families vary dramatically when residence rules are varied with respect to which child by birth order stays with the parents. When a child's sex is specified and/or different children stay sequentially with the parents, the variability is greatly curtailed. The simulation uses demographic parameters from data on rural Thailand. The simulation program is described
