Key birth rates; observation and Prognosis (2014), 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 birth generation 1935
Status of the figures:
The figures based on the number of births observed up to the year 2013 are definitive. This means that the figures up to and including 1963 birth generation are entirely based on observations. Figures from birth generation 1964 have been complemented by future expectations of fertility rates from the CBS Population Forecast 2014-2060. The figures from birth generation 1999 are based entirely on forecast figures.
Amendments as of 19 December 2017:

See paragraph 3 for the successor to this table.
Amendments as of 18 December 2014:
— This new table incorporates the figures relating to birth observations up to 2013;

When will there be new figures?
The frequency of appearance of this table is one-off. In December 2017, a new table will be published taking into account the observations for 2015, 2016 and 2017 and replacing future expectations with those from the 2017-2060 Population Forecast.
