Birth; key figures, 1950-2022
Description
This table contains key figures on fertility, live and stillborn children and multiple births by sex. It concerns the births among the inhabitants of the Netherlands.
In this table, the data can be broken down into the following characteristics:
— Live born children by sex;
— Live born children by mother’s age (on 31 December) in age groups;
— Live born children by order of birth from the mother;
— Live born children according to the marital status of the mother;
— Live born children by mother’s migration background;
— Stillborn children by gestational age;
— Births: singles and multiples;
— Average number of children per woman;
— Average number of children per man;
— Average age of the mother by order of birth from the mother;
— Average age of the father by order of birth from the mother.
CBS is moving on to a new classification of the population by origin. From now on, it is more decisive where someone was born, in addition to where one’s parents were born. The word ‘migration background’ is no longer used. The main division of Western/Non-Western is replaced by a classification based on continents and common immigration countries. This classification is gradually introduced in tables and publications with population by origin.
Data available from:
Most of the data is available from 1950 onwards.
Exceptions are live born children by mother’s migrant background (from 1996), stillborn children with a gestational age of 24 weeks or more (from 1991), the average number of children per man (from 1996) and the average age of the father (from 1996 onwards).
Status of the figures:
All figures included in the table are final figures.
Amendment as of 6 November 2023:
None, this table has been discontinued.
When will there be new figures?
No longer applicable. This table is followed by the ‘Birth of Birth’ table; key figures”. See paragraph 3.
