ForewordAs of 10 October 2010, Statistics
Netherlands is responsible for the
production and publication of statistics
for the Caribbean Netherlands: Bonaire,
St Eustatius and Saba. The Caribbean
Netherlands in figures 2013 gives a
statistical overview of the Caribbean
Netherlands. It presents figures on some
important aspects of society on the
islands and gives a brief impression of
areas such as population, education,
justice and security, prices and many
more. In addition to previously
published figures, the new figures from
the Omnibus survey are included. All
statistics can be found on statline.cbs.nl,
Statistics Netherlands’ online database.

IntroductionSince Statistics Netherlands started
collecting statistical information about
the islands of the Caribbean
Netherlands, four years ago, a lot has
been accomplished. Compared with
earlier editions of this brochure in 2012
and 2013, this edition encompasses
many more subjects, expanding the
48 pages of the previous edition to more
than 100 pages in this one. The main
cause of the increased amount of
available data is that new surveys have
been carried out on the islands, such as
the 2012 Caribbean Netherlands Labour
Force Survey (LFS). The LFS resulted in
information on the labour market,
employment per sector of industry and
unemployment. The 2013 Budget Survey
aimed to get an insight into how
households on the islands spend their
money and thus adjust the calculation
method for the consumer price index
accordingly. In addition, the 2013
Omnibus Survey was held on all three
islands. This survey comprised various
themes, such as health and welfare,
security, transport, and leisure. The 2014
brochure also includes data on other
areas, such as incoming tourists via
airports, international trade and gross
domestic product (GDP) for Bonaire.

1. BonaireBonaire is one of the so-called ABC
islands of the Lesser Antilles. Some
18.5 thousand people live on the island,
of whom 80 percent have the Dutch
nationality. Most inhabitants –
– 58 percent – were born on one of the
islands making up the former
Netherlands Antilles or Aruba.
Papiamento is the main language of
64 percent of the population; 15 percent
speak mainly Dutch, another 15 percent
Spanish, and 4 percent English.
