Younger generations mostly richer than their parents: CBS
According to a report by Statistics Netherlands (CBS) published on 2026-09-07, younger generations in the Netherlands generally possess greater spending power and wealth compared to their parents. The analysis, based on long-term economic data, indicates that most people born after 1950 have seen improvements in financial well-being. However, the report notes some exceptions, particularly among those born after 1985, who face challenges such as high housing costs. CBS highlights that while overall trends are positive, disparities remain between different groups.
