To calculate how much the national debt per capita has changed between 2016 and 2021, we can follow these steps:

### Given Data:
- **2016**: 
  - National debt: €438 billion (miljard in Dutch means billion)
  - Population: 17.0 million
- **2021**: 
  - National debt: €449 billion
  - Population: 17.5 million

### Steps:
1. Calculate the national debt per person for **2016**:
   \[
   \text{Debt per person in 2016} = \frac{438 \text{ billion}}{17.0 \text{ million}} = \frac{438,000,000,000}{17,000,000}
   \]

2. Calculate the national debt per person for **2021**:
   \[
   \text{Debt per person in 2021} = \frac{449 \text{ billion}}{17.5 \text{ million}} = \frac{449,000,000,000}{17,500,000}
   \]

3. Subtract the two results to find the difference in national debt per person between 2016 and 2021.

I'll now calculate these values.The national debt per person in:

- **2016** was approximately €25,765.
- **2021** was approximately €25,657.

The debt per person has **decreased by about €108** between 2016 and 2021.
