Population
Statbel publishes today the provisional results of the statistics on births for the 1st quarter 2022.
These first provisional figures show that 9,416 babies were born in January 2022 in Belgium, 8,926 in February and 9,615 in March, i.e. a total of 27,957 births in the 1st quarter 2022. 56.3% of these births took place in Flanders, 31.3% in Wallonia and 12.4% in the Brussels-Capital Region.
These results were calculated based on Demobel, Statbel’s demographic database (source: National Register). As these figures are provisional, it is not yet possible to draw any clear conclusions, either on a monthly or on an annual basis. This will have to wait until the final publication of the population figures on 1 January 2022 mid-2022.
