Fertility; observation and prognosis, age and generation of birth
Description
This table contains age-specific fertility rates (number of children per woman) by maternal ranking and woman’s birth generation. The figures refer to the population of the Netherlands.
Fertility rates are partly made up of observations, complemented by future expectations of age-specific fertility rates.
Data available: from Birth Generation 1935
Status of the figures:
The figures based on the number of births observed up to and including 2022 are final. Figures complemented by future fertility expectations come from the CBS Population Forecast 2020-2070. This means that the total of all ages is filled with observations up to and including birth generation 1969. Fertility rates per age are filled with observations up to birth generation 2022 minus age. For example, for age 30 birth generations 1935 to 1992 are based on observations; the subsequent birth generations are based on the prognosis.
Amendments as of 15 December 2023:
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 2023 to 2070. This new table incorporates the figures related to birth observations up to 2022.
When will there be new figures?
The frequency of appearance of this table is one-off. In December 2026, a new table with the (prognosis of) fertility rates is published.
