This statistic shows the average number of children per female in the Netherlands from 1950 to 2022. In 2022, women in the Netherlands had an average of approximately 1.49 children. That was less than half the number of children women in 1950 had. As this statistic on the average number of children per female in the Netherlands in the past ten years shows, this number has been relatively stable in recent years, around 1.6 to 1.7 children per female. The same applies to the average number of children per male in the last ten years, which can be viewed here. Both men and women in the Netherlands had an average of 1.6 to 1.7 children, although the average for women seemed slightly higher in the most recent years.
