Description

The most important key figures about population, households, population growth, births, deaths, migration, marriages, marriage dissolutions and change of nationality of the Dutch population.

CBS is in transition towards a new classification of the population by origin. Greater emphasis is now placed on where a person was born, aside from where that person’s parents were born. The term ‘migration background’ is no longer used in this regard. The main categories western/non-western are being replaced by categories based on continents and a few countries that share a specific migration history with the Netherlands. The new classification is being implemented gradually in tables and publications on population by origin.

Data available from: 1899

Status of the figures: All data in this publication are final data.

Changes as of 17 October 2025: Final figures of 2023 on stillbirths and perinatal mortality, the figures for the population development in 2024 and the population on 1 January 2025 have been added.

When will the new figures be published? The figures for the population development in 2025 and the population on 1 January 2026 will be published in the third quarter of 2026.
