Population, households and population development; from 1899

This table presents the main key figures on population, households and population development in the Netherlands. The table distinguishes the following: — Population; — Private households; — Live born children; — Mortality; — Moved persons; — Marriage; — Marriage dissolution; — Change of nationality. CBS is moving on to a new classification of the population by origin. From now on, it is more decisive where someone was born, in addition to where one’s parents were born. The word ‘migration background’ is no longer used. The main division of Western/Non-Western is replaced by a classification based on continents and common immigration countries. This classification is gradually introduced in tables and publications with population by origin. Data available from: 1899 Figures on population by origin are currently only available from 2022. Earlier periods will be added to the table at a later time. Status of the figures: All figures in the table are final. Amendments as of 15 December 2023: None, this is a new table. This table is the successor to Population, households and population development; 1899-2019. See paragraph 3. The following changes to the discontinued table have been made: — The underlying topics folder related to migration background have been replaced by “Born in the Netherlands” and “Born outside the Netherlands”; — The countries of origin Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Türkiye are allocated to the continent Asia (was Europe); — Figures have been supplemented until 2022 (population development) and 2023 (population on 1 January). When will new figures come out? The figures on the population development of 2023 and the population as of 1 January 2024 will be published in the third quarter of 2024.
