Total number of households in the Netherlands 2023, by type

Under half of the households in the Netherlands, at approximately 3.27 million, are composed of single men and women. Roughly 2.36 million households are formed by couples without children, whereas approximately 2.65 million households are multi-person households with one or more children. As shown in this statistic, the average household size in the Netherlands decreased between 1950 and today, from approximately four people per household in 1950, to 2.12 people per household today. In the last ten years, the development has been relatively stable though, as this statistic shows. Although the overall decrease is still visible, the development over the last 65 years is particularly striking. With this change in mind, the number of people per household in the Netherlands is only expected to decrease further in the future.

在荷兰，家庭结构呈现出多元化的特点。据数据显示，约327万户家庭由单身男女组成。约236万户家庭由无子女的夫妇构成，而约265万户家庭为多口之家，拥有一个或多个孩子。这一统计数据揭示了荷兰家庭规模在1950年至当今之间呈现出的显著下降趋势，从1950年的每户约四人降至如今的2.12人。然而，在过去十年中，家庭规模的变迁相对稳定，如数据所示。尽管整体上家庭规模仍在缩小，但在过去的65年里，这种变化尤为显著。考虑到这一变化，预计未来荷兰每户的人数将进一步减少。
