Wealth of persons; key figures, origin

This table contains figures on the distribution of the wealth of people in the Netherlands, measured on the basis of income. The figures can be broken down by country of birth of the parents and country of origin of the person. The target population consists of all persons in private households with an income as at 1 January of the year under review. In the target population for the subject of people with low income, people from student households and from households that only had an income for part of the year were not included. The target population for the subject of economic independence consists of all persons aged 15 to state pension age in private households with an income, excluding students and pupils, as at 1 January of the year under review. Statistics Netherlands has switched to a new classification of the population by origin. From now on, where someone was born is more decisive than where someone's parents were born. The word migration background is no longer used. The main Western/non-Western division has been replaced by a division based on continents and common immigration countries. This classification is gradually being introduced in tables and publications with population by origin. Data available from: 2011. Status of the figures: The figures for 2011 to 2020 are final. The figures for 2021 are provisional. Changes as of December 2022: None, this is a new table. When will new numbers come out? New figures will be published in the autumn of 2023.
