Summary

Netherlands in 2082

In 2082, the Netherlands is projected to have a population of 18,184,063 people. Ten years before, in 2072, the projected population is still 18,446,838 — a ten-year decline of 1.4%.

With a projected median age of 49.0 years, the Netherlands would have a youth dependency ratio of 23.9 and an old-age dependency ratio of 56.7 per 100 people of working age. The pyramid is constrictive: cohorts of children are smaller than those of their parents, reflecting low fertility and an ageing population.
