Personal characteristics of all persons registered in the Municipal Basic Administration (GBA), coordinated (01-01-2018-01-01-2020)
Description
Includes demographic background data (e.g. gender, year of birth, migration background) of all persons listed in the BRP as of 1 October 1994, data that do not or hardly change.
Also contains data of persons who were resident before 1 October 1994 but who did not reside after that date, insofar as they are registered in the BRP. This group is certainly not fully observed.
The component is a coordinated version and contains information until 31 December YYYY. There is no sharply defined start date.
For each version, only the information for the last year has been coordinated.
This description is valid for versions from 2018.
The file is part of CBS’s System of Social Statistical Files (SSB).

### Methodology
Missing information regarding personal characteristics may be imputated.
For example, for non-residents in the BRP, no information about native parents is known. The relevant variables GBAGEBOORTELANDVADER and GBAGEBOORTELAND MOTHER as well as the derived variables GBAHER COMMUNITATION, GBAGENERATION and GBAAANTALOUDER BUITENLAND are imputed. In this group of persons, unknown value can occur and is then filled with unknown (0000).
For some of the residents born abroad, the country of birth of one or both parents is also unknown.
Birth month is imputated for about 90 thousand people. This almost always concerns first generation people with a migrant background.
The information relating to personal characteristics may vary by version. In a later version, new known information may have been added that replaces previous information.
When do you use this file?
The file is used to add personal attributes to individuals within populations that originate from other files.
The file cannot be used to make counts.
This file is not suitable for deducing the state of the population, as published (once) by team Demography. For this purpose reference is made to the component GBASTANDBEVOLKINGYYJTABVV.
The file is a coordinated version of a living tab, meaning that the information in a version for the last year within that version is final and is consistent with the information published on StatLine by Team Demography. Changes in the past that (many) later became known were still included in the tab. As a result, the information about all other periods within the same component does not match the information published on StatLine by Team Demography.
If information has to match the final information previously published on StatLine, use a coordinated version of the component (the component runs until 31 December JYJJ-1 00:00). Although the coordinated component contains information on a series of years, only the last year in the component is final. This means that a different version (year) of the coordinated component should be used for each year output.
In all other cases, the most recent uncoordinated version can be used. Also, with the same component, a single analysis file with multiple periods can be created at the same time.
Some examples:
Level moment Status figures Component
1-1-2015 coordinated according to StatLine, 2014
31-5-2013 coordinated according to StatLine, 2013
2012 according to StatLine coordinated, 2011
If there is no need to connect to StatLine figures, the uncoordinated version can be used.
### Population
All persons, both residents and non-residents registered in the BRP from 1 January 1994 to 31 December 1994.
In addition, the component also contains personal data of persons who were residents of the Netherlands before 1 October 1994.
The Basic Registration of Persons (BRP) contains information about both residents and non-residents of the Netherlands.
Residents are persons who are registered in the population register of a Dutch municipality.
Non-residents consist of:
— persons who are no longer residents of the Netherlands but who do have a relationship with the Dutch government, including emigrants who receive an AOW pension abroad. Such a person has once been a resident, but no longer.
— persons who have never been a resident but have a relationship with the Dutch government Think of a seasonal worker who has never been a resident but who works for a company based in the Netherlands.
