Caribbean Netherlands; migration, sex, age and country of birth

This table includes figures about the migration on the islands of Bonaire, Saba and St Eustatius broken down by sex, age and country of birth.

Since 10 October 2010, the islands of Bonaire, Saba and St Eustatius have been given the status of 'special municipality' of the Netherlands. On the grounds of their new status as 'special municipality', they are officially classified as public bodies of the Netherlands.

Data available from: 2011.

Status of the figures:
The figures are final.

Changes as from 5 December 2024:
This is a revised table.
The following changes have been implemented:
- By using place of birth (municipality of birth) it was determined on which of the six islands someone was born in the (former) Netherlands Antilles and Aruba. That method has been applied in this table for all publication years (2011 to present) the same way.
- Persons born in countries that have since disintegrated (e.g. the Soviet Union) have been assigned to one of the countries that emerged from these old countries based on birthplace information. See also notes on 'Country of birth';
- The origin countries Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Turkey have been assigned to continent Asia (was Europe).

When will new figures be published?
In the second quarter of 2025 figures of 2024 will be added.
