Dear readers,
The primary mission of Statistics Belgium is to meet the information
needs of not only public authorities but also of enterprises and citi-
zens by providing them with continuously updated data on our coun-
try’s situation.
Obtaining relevant data is essential for each of these target groups
to have a constructive and informed debate and to take targeted and
effective actions. Additionally, students, researchers and anyone
interested in a general and detailed view of the country need igures
and statistics.
This brochure presents a brief overview of the available data. Bel-
gium is also placed in a European context.
The information we provide covers many different areas: climate,
population, employment, economy, inance, agriculture, industry,
transport, services, real estate,… .
This enumeration already demonstrates how wide the range of pro-
posed statistics is. However, for each of these statistics we can pro-
vide much more igures than included in this publication. Visit our
website,
www.statbel.fgov.be
, to access an extensive collection of
data and all our publications in a downloadable format.
If you would like to receive further information, the site also menti-
ons contact information.

Total population
Belgium is made up of three Regions. In the north, the Flemish Region is the
most populated and represents 58% of the population. It is followed by the Walloon
Region (in the south), inhabited by 32 % of the population; and by the centrally located
Brussels-Capital Region, which accounts for 10% of the population.
Between 1 January 2000 and 1 January 2010, the Belgian population increased by
5.9% or 600,820 people. The population of the Brussels-Capital Region grew by 13.6%,
that of Flanders by 5.2% and that of Wallonia by 4.8%.
The country has 4,442,512 married people, 4,787,041 singles, 899,425 divorced people
and 710,927 widows and widowers.
Belgium is the tenth most populated country in the European Union, and the Belgians
represent 1/47th of the European population. Even though the country is far behind
demographic powers such as Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Italy, its
demographic weight is not insigniicant.
