Table explanation
This table provides an international comparison of the performance of the economy. This is done by means of a number of broadly accepted economic indicators as gross domestic product and employed labour force. These indicators are complemented by a number of indicators on the quality of life and ecological sustainability.
Note: Comparable definitions are used to facilitate international comparisons of the figures. The definitions used here sometimes differ from definitions used by Statistics Netherlands. The figures in this table can differ from Dutch figures presented elsewhere on the website of Statistics Netherlands.
Data available for: 1960, 1970, 1980 and from 1990 up to 2012.
Status of the figures:
The external sources of these data frequently supply adjusted figures on preceding periods. These adjusted data are not mentioned as such in the table.
Changes as of 1 March 2018:
This table has been discontinued.
When will new figures be published?
No longer applicable.
Description topics
- Ecological sustainability
- Emission carbon dioxide (CO2) per capita
- Emissions of CO2 (carbon dioxide) according to IPCC standards, per capita. IPCC stands for International Panel on Climate Change. It concerns the emissions released by burning oil, coal and gas for energy use. Emissions released by burning wood and waste, and by some industrial processes such as the production of cement, have not been taken into account.

- Electricity renewable energy sources
- Contribution of electricity from renewable energy sources to total gross electricity consumption. Renewable non-fossil energy sources are: wind, solar, geothermal, wave, tidal, hydropower, biomass, landfill gas, sewage treatment plant gas, and biogases. The total gross national electricity consumption of a country is defined as the total gross national electricity generation (from all domestic sources), plus electricity imports, minus exports.
