Currently, households have members with a completely random age. This can lead to households with only children for example.

We should introduce a method to generate more realistic households.

My suggestion would be to make the first member 18+ by default, and then to change the probability of child / adult generation for the other household members to ensure that the distributed in demographics.csv is fully adhered to.

To do this, we need to probably split the eco.ages structure into two distributions, one for ages 0-17 and one for ages 18+.
