population forecast; key figures, 2016-2060

This table contains projections (2016-2060) of the population of the Netherlands on 1 January by age (three groups) and population development: the number of live births, the number of deaths and foreign migration. In addition, the table contains demographic pressure, the total fertility rate per woman and the period life expectancy at birth and at age 65 by gender. The period life expectancy, calculated from a period survival table, is a summary measure of the mortality probabilities in a calendar year. It indicates how old people would live on average if the mortality probabilities-by-age of that year would apply 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.
