Forecast of the population distribution in the Netherlands 2015-2060, by age

This statistic shows a forecast of the population distribution in the Netherlands from 2015 to 2060, by age. It reveals that between 2015 and 2060 the share of the people between 0 and 20 is likely to remain relatively stable, around 21-22 percent of the population. The predicted share of the population over 65 years old is expected to grow from roughly 18 percent in 2015 to 26 percent in 2060, an increase of 8 percent. This is predicted to be at the cost of the share of the people between 20 and 65, which is expected to decrease from 60 percent to just 53 percent.
