Key birth rates; observation and prognosis, birth generation
Description
This table shows the average number of children per woman, the percentage of women by number and the average age of the mother at the birth of her first child. All figures are according to the birth generation of the woman. The figures refer to the population of the Netherlands.
Data available from: generation of Birth of 1935
Status of the figures:
The figures based on the number of births observed up to and including 2016 are definitive. This means that the figures up to and including the 1966 birth generation are entirely based on observations. Figures from birth generation 1967 have been complemented by future expectations of fertility rates from the CBS Population Forecast 2017-2060. The figures from birth generation 2002 are based entirely on forecast figures.
Amendments as of 16 December 2020:
This table has been discontinued.
See paragraph 3 for the successor to this table.
Amendments as of 19 December 2017:
None, this is a new table in which the previous forecast has been adjusted on the basis of the observations now available. The forecast period now runs from 2017 to 2060. This new table incorporates the figures related to birth observations up to and including 2016.
When will there be new figures?
The frequency of appearance of this table is one-off. In December 2020, a new table with the (prognosis of the) key birth rates will be published.
