Description topics
- Total population
- Age groups
- 0 to 20 years
- 20 to 65 years
- 65 years and older
- % 0 to 20 years
- % 20 to 65 years
- % 65 years and older
- Demographic burden
- Ratio between number of people aged over 65 and younger than 20,
and the number of 20 to 65 year-olds. This ratio is an indicator of the
pressure of the non-active population on the labour force. - Live births
- Total fertility rate
- The total fertility rate gives an indication of how many children women
have on average. In order to calculate this figure, age-specific fertility
rates observed in a given calendar year are used which apply to
every childbearing age (ages between 15 and 50). - Deaths
- Life expectancy at birth
- The number of years men or women can expect to live at the moment they
are born.- Life expectancy men
- Life expectancy women
- External migration
- Immigration
- Arrival in the Netherlands from another country.
- Emigration (incl. net adm. corrections)
- Departure from the Netherlands to another country (including net
administrative corrections).
- Net migration (incl. net adm. corr.)
- Immigration minus emigration (including net administrative corrections).
