Forecast population; key figures, 2017-2060

This table contains projections of the population of the Netherlands on 1 January by age (three groups) and population development: the number of children born alive, the number of deceased and foreign migration. In addition, the table contains demographic pressures, the total fertility rate per woman and the period-life expectancy at birth and on the 65th birthday by gender. The period-life expectancy, calculated from a period survival table, is a summary measure of mortality rates in a calendar year. It indicates how old people would be averaged if the mortality opportunities-by-age of that year were valid throughout their lives. See section 4 for an explanation of the difference between the period survival table and a cohort survival table. Forecast intervals are also included in the table. Data available: 2017-2060 Status of the figures: The figures in this table are forecast figures calculated. Changes as of 16 December 2020: This table has been discontinued.
