Chart Details
Timeframe: 1990-2022
Country: Netherlands
Published date: 2024
Note: The fertility rate, as defined by World Development Indicators, measures the average number of children born to a woman over her lifetime, usually expressed as births per woman.
Key Takeaways
The Netherlands maintained a relatively stable fertility rate, fluctuating between 1.5 and 1.8 from 1990 to 2022. The rate remained consistent at around 1.6–1.7 during the 1990s and 2000s, indicative of a developed nation with widespread access to healthcare, family planning, and economic stability.

A slight increase to 1.8 was observed in the late 2000s and early 2010s, potentially driven by favorable parental leave policies and support for working families. However, the rate dipped to 1.5 in 2022, reflecting broader European trends of aging populations and lower birth rates due to changing lifestyle preferences and economic uncertainties.
