Introduction

Are emigrants returning to the Caribbean Netherlands? Who looks after children when their parents are at work? How many people work? How many tourists arrived by air? How many people are religious?

You’ll find the answers to these and more questions in this compact and colourful book. This edition approaches every topic through a question, the answer focusing on all three islands, presenting an array of recent data on, for example economy, tourism, labour, population and youth, all key aspects of life on Bonaire, Saba and St Eustatius.

Our website, our online database StatLine, our Facebook and Instagram accounts, where you will find much more than could be covered in this publication.
