Population of the Netherlands on 1 January by gender, age, marital status, generation and migration background. CBS is moving towards a new classification of the population by origin.

The main classification of Western/Non-Westerns is replaced by a classification based on continents and common immigration countries. This classification is gradually introduced in tables and publications with population by origin. Data available from 1996 to 2022. Status of the figures: All the figures in the table are final. Changes as of 13 January 2023: None, this table has been discontinued. When are new figures coming? No longer applicable. This table is followed up by the Population table; gender, age, country of origin and country of birth (parents), 1 Jan. See paragraph 3.
