Statement

Supplier: Statbel (IWEPS calculations) Comparable data over time, available here from 1985. Each year, Statbel, the Belgian statistical office, calculates the legal population figure as determined by Belgian law. For this, Statbel draws demographic data from the national register (RN). The RN is a legal tool that has existed in Belgium since 1983 which centralizes the population registers established in each Belgian municipality from 1846. It registers all residents of Belgium in different registers: mainly the population register and foreigners (the Belgians and foreigners domiciled - authorized to settle or stay for more than three months - in Belgium), the waiting register (political refugee candidates) and diplomatic and consular registers as well as that of European officials and members of other institutions international organizations (NATO) and their families. The official population of Belgium, which serves as the basis for the calculations of demographic indices, counts all of the RN people who have their main residence in Belgium, excluding the waiting register.
