People aged 75 and over, in particular, are now more likely to own and drive a car. However, the share of people aged under 30 who have a driving licence has fallen slightly, while car ownership has risen somewhat. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this on the basis of newly released figures.

That was nearly 3 percent more than in 2024, but still 3 percent fewer than in 2019, before the coronavirus pandemic. A total of 541 thousand commercial flights were recorded, slightly more than in 2024. Air freight transport declined by over 3 percent year on year, to 1.47 million tonnes. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this on the basis of newly released figures.

As in the previous three years, this growth was entirely due to net migration. Population growth slowed in 2025 and was down by 14 thousand compared with 2024. The number of people coming to live in the Netherlands slightly exceeded the number of people leaving the country to live elsewhere. This is according to provisional figures from Statistics Netherlands (CBS).

This was mainly due to a smaller harvest of wheat and other crops, which meant that less nitrogen was taken up by crops. However, 3 percent less nitrogen was excreted in livestock manure. The nitrogen surplus is less than half what it was in 1990. This is according to the most recent figures on the nutrient balance in agriculture from Statistics Netherlands (CBS).

Over the same period, a total of 16.5 thousand following family members arrived in the Netherlands, the highest number since these figures were first recorded in 2013. Statistics Netherlands (CBS) reports this on the basis of the latest figures from the Dutch Immigration and Naturalisation Service (IND).

But that was 2 million fewer visits than in 2019, the year before the coronavirus pandemic. Older people, in particular, now visit museums less frequently.

Approximately 27 percent used this login method for all accounts where possible, compared to 25 percent in 2022. Around 50 percent only used it for some accounts. Older people were the least familiar with two-step verification and also use it the least often. This is according to the survey on Online Safety and Crime among individuals aged 15 years and over, conducted by Statistics Netherlands (CBS).

People aged 65 and over now outnumber young people aged under 20 for the first time. One of the reasons for this is that people are living longer, but migration is also a factor, which means that this growth will continue over the decades to come. By 2070, the Netherlands is expected to have 2.5 million more inhabitants than it has now. This is according to the 2024-2070 Core Forecast of Statistics Netherlands (CBS).
