Between 1950 and 1965 the green population pressure in the Netherlands increased from 67.9 percent in 1950 to 72.2 percent in 1965. This corresponds with the baby boom period that came after the Second World War. After 1965, the birth rate decreased and the green population pressure decreased steadily until 1995. After 1995, the green population pressure stabilized at around 36 to 39 percent. In 2023, the green population pressure was 35.9 percent.
Green population pressure in the Netherlands from 1950 to 2023
Data valid as of January 1 of each year indicated.
The green population pressure is the ratio of the non-working population (0-20 years) to the working population (20-65 years) and is calculated by dividing the total of the non-working young population by the working population x 100. The higher the green population pressure, the more non-working people under the age of 20 the working population has to support.
