[Demographic review of the Netherlands, 1992]

Demographic trends in the Netherlands during 1992 are reviewed. Among the findings, the author notes that "in 1992 the Dutch population grew by 110 thousand.... The number of births fell by some 2 thousand, immigration by 3.5 thousand. The number of deaths remained unchanged. Emigration increased by 1.5 thousand.... Twelve per cent of the population live in a one person household. Thirty years ago this was only 3%. Due to the decreased average number of children per family the proportion of children fell from 44% in 1960 to 30% in 1992. The number of people who were born abroad shows an annual growth of 4.4%. The growth of the native population is 0.44% per year.... Fertility is highest for 30 year old women. In 1970 this was the case for those who were 26 years of age." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
