9,834 births in August

Statbel publishes today the provisional monthly results of the statistics on births.

The first provisional figures show that in August 2022, 9,834 babies were born in Belgium: 5,524 in Flanders, 3,128 in Wallonia and 1,182 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 2023 mid-2023.
