Netherlands Population Pyramid 2063
Netherlands in 2063
United Nations projections (medium variant) put the population of the Netherlands at 18,605,904 in 2063. Compared with 2053, when the projection stands at 18,884,311, that represents a decline of 1.5% over ten years.
With a projected median age of 47.5 years, the Netherlands would have a youth dependency ratio of 23.4 and an old-age dependency ratio of 48.9 per 100 people of working age. This is a constrictive pyramid — its base is narrower than its middle, the signature of sustained low birth rates and population ageing.
