Fertility; observation and prognosis (2014), age, birth generation

This table contains age-specific fertility rates (number of children per woman) by maternal and female birth number. The figures refer to the population of the Netherlands. The fertility rates consist partly 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 2013 are definitive. Figures supplemented by future expectations of fertility figures come from the CBS Population Forecast 2014-2060. This means that the total of all ages is filled with observations up to and including birth generation 1963. The fertility rates per age are filled with observations up to birth generation 2 013 minus age. For example, before age 30, birth generations 1935 to 1983 are based on observations; the next generation of births is based on the prognosis. Changes as of 19 December 2017: This table has been discontinued. See paragraph 3 for the successor to this table.
