Statistics Netherlands is switching to a new classification regarding migration background. From now on, it will be primarily decisive where someone was born, and additionally where his/her parents were born. The term migration background will no longer be used. The main classification Western/non-Western will be replaced by a classification based on continents and common immigration countries. This classification will be gradually introduced in tables and publications with population by origin. For this StatLine table, it has been decided that the classification of migration background will be stopped.
As of reporting year 2024, the figures regarding migration background in this table will no longer be updated.

When will new figures be published?
Figures over reporting year 2027 will be published in 2028.
