[Non-Dutch residents and Dutch residents born abroad, January 1, 1995].

"On 1 January 1995, 757,000 non-Dutch residents were living in the Netherlands.... The relatively large number of naturalizations in 1994 has been the main cause of the decrease in the number of non-Dutch nationals....Net changes of nationality make the largest contribution to the growth of the number of Dutch residents born abroad....Non-Dutch residents are much younger on average than the population of the Netherlands as a whole."

[Many deaths in the winter of 1995-1996].

"In December 1995-February 1996 [in the Netherlands] the number of deaths was higher than usual. In this period the number of excess deaths was over 4 thousand.... The high death rates are probably related to the influenza epidemics in December and January, and to the low temperatures of this winter." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[The use of the age concept in monthly population figures].

"In Dutch population statistics age is usually defined as the year in which a demographic event occurs minus the year of birth. This age concept is referred to as age on 31 December. As a consequence of determining age in this manner, interpreting age-specific monthly figures is sometimes difficult.... Statistics Netherlands prefers the concept of age on 31 December for two reasons: it facilitates the linking of cohort and period data in the case of annual figures; using one concept for annual and monthly figures avoids consistency problems."

[Moslems and Hindus in the Netherlands: revised time series].

Estimates of the numbers of Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist residents of the Netherlands are presented and techniques for producing such estimates described. "Since 1971...estimated numbers of Moslems and Hindus/Buddhists have been...computed annually with the aid of data taken from the international migration statistics. Population growth due to births and deaths was calculated by assuming that the crude rates for Turks, Moroccans, [Tunisians], Pakistani and Indonesians living in the Netherlands apply to the Moslems, and those for the Surinamese apply to the Hindus/Buddhists. More recently other estimates have been achieved on the basis of enumerations from municipal population registers." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Demographic statistics after the GBA Law is passed].

"The Dutch Ministry of Internal Affairs plans to replace the old written population systems on paper with a new system of decentralized automated population registers (in Dutch this system is called: GBA) on 1 October 1994.... In the summer of 1993 Statistics Netherlands carried out a test to find out whether the GBA messages are appropriate for making population statistics. To do this such messages were forwarded to Statistics Netherlands by five municipalities for three months. The conclusion of the test results was that the GBA system is technically adequate for making population statistics." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Probability of grandparenthood not down yet].

Cohort fertility data for the Netherlands are examined to determine the probability of becoming a grandparent. "According to the 1935 and 1965 parity distributions...84% of the generation born in the 1930's will have at least one grandchild.... The average number of grandchildren is calculated to be 4.7....A woman's first grandchild is born when she is 54, on average. If higher birth order children are also considered this age is six years higher." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Nuclear families by family life cycle category, January 1, 1992].

"In this article, family life-cycle categories [in the Netherlands] are defined by the ages of the youngest and the eldest child. The figures are from an enumeration from automated municipal population registers. For each inhabitant sex, year of birth, marital status, country of birth, family relationship and a number of other characteristics were obtained. The family relationship shows whether or not a person lives in a nuclear family and if so, what position they have therein (e.g. spouse, parent, child). On the basis of these data three types of nuclear families were defined...." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
