General Introduction
Location
The Netherlands Antilles, forming part of the Caribbean Archipelago, consists of Curaçao
and Bonaire (Leeward islands), Saba, Sint Eustatius and the southern part of Sint Maarten
(Windward islands). The distinction between the Windward and Leeward islands dates back
to the time of the transatlantic sailing and regards the location of the islands to the northeast trade winds. The Leeward islands are located at 12o N and between 68o and 70o W.
They lie at a distance of 30 to 90 km from the coast of South America. The Windward
islands lie at 18o N and 63o W. The distance between the Windward and Leeward islands is
900 km.
Short History
The Leeward islands were inhabited by the Arawacs and the Windward islands by the
Caribs. The Windward islands were discovered in 1493. In 1499 the Leeward islands were
discovered by the Spaniard Alonso de Ojeda.
Saba and Sint Eustatius were taken over by the Dutch in 1632, the Leeward islands in 1634
and the southern part of Sint Maarten in 1648. The first constitution of the Netherlands
Antilles was enacted by the Dutch Parliament in 1865. This constitution has been revised
several times. The most important revision was that of 1954, which resulted in the
establishment of the so called "Statuut". This is the principal legal act within the Kingdom
of the Netherlands, which regulates internal self-government for the islands of the
Netherlands Antilles.
Actual Constitution
The Netherlands Antilles form an integral part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The
Sovereign of the Kingdom is head of the State and is represented in the Netherlands Antilles
by the Governor. The Governor with the legislative body called the "Staten", consisting of 22
members, form the legislative power. The Governor with the Council of Ministers form the
Central Government, with executive power in internal affairs.
The executive power in external affairs rests with the Council of Ministers of the Kingdom.
The Netherlands Antilles are represented in this Council by the Minister Plenipotentiary,
who has full voting power.
Besides the central government each island has its executive Council, an Island Council and
a Lieutenant-Governor.
Language
The language usually spoken on the Leeward islands is Papiamentu, which is a Creole one
with elements of the African, Portuguese, Spanish, English and Dutch language.
On the Windward islands the language usually spoken is English.
The official language of the Netherlands Antilles is Dutch, although at different formal
occasions the local language is being used.

A. Area and Climate
Area and Climate
Introduction
This chapter starts with information about the area and the population
density of each island of the Netherlands Antilles.
The islands of the Netherlands Antilles enjoy a mild tropical climate, fairly
constant throughout the year. However, the climate of the semi-arid
Leeward Islands - Bonaire and Curaçao - shows significant differences
compared with the lush, greenery Windward Islands - Saba, St. Eustatius
and St. Maarten - that are located within the Atlantic hurricane belt.
Therefore, tables 2-5 include data observed at Hato Airport, Curaçao,
which may be considered representative for the Leeward Islands, as well as
similar data observed at the Princess Juliana Airport, St. Maarten, which
may be considered representative for the Windward Islands.
The observation series (temperature, rainfall, cloud coverage and sunshine,
wind, atmospheric pressure and relative humidity) for the Leeward Islands
date back to 1894 (regular rainfall observations started earlier in 1830).
Similar observation series for the Windward Islands are available since 1907
(regular rainfall observations since 1879).
An organized meteorological service for the Netherlands West-Indies - at
that time including Surinam - was founded in 1894, and in 1950 continued
by the present Meteorological Service of the Netherlands Antilles and
Aruba, a Central Government Agency under the authority of the Minister of
Communications and Transport.

B. Population
Population
Population figures are compiled from two different sources. The continuous
registration of births, deaths, immigration and emigration takes place at
the island registry offices. These figures refer tot the population that is
registered. Other source of population figures are the population censuses.
The last Census was held in 2001.
The census figures give the best approximation of the population of the
Netherlands Antilles. The results of the census shows discrepancies in the
population figures compared to the island registry offices.
In the publication of the Census 1981 an attempt was made to explain these
differences. The main cause of the high population totals in the population
registry is supposed to be the failure to correctly register the number of
emigrants form the various islands.
In this chapter data are presented of the island registry offices. For
population information of the Census 2001 you can consult the publication
“Fourth Population and Housing Census Netherlands Antilles 2001 (Volume
1,2 and cd-rom), or you can visit our website www.cbs.an.

Introduction
Health care is defined by the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) as a
system of regulations and services created in order to promote health and to
prevent and cure diseases. The development of a health care system is
related to the social-economic situation and technology of the country.
Health statistics should focus on three main aspects:
- the state of health of the population
- the health care facilities (supply of material and financial means, and
human resources)
- the health care services demanded from and provided by the health care
system
This goes beyond what is presented in this publication. In this chapter about
health statistics, different components are brought together as to give an
overview of some sub fields of the health care area. The health statistics
provided here regard:
- the state of health of the population
- health facilities (supply)
- preventive aspects concerning birth control
It is obvious that most of the data regard the supply of facilities to
recipients. Data about the demand for health care are hardly available.

Introduction
1
On 29 December 1954, the Netherlands Antilles became an integral part of
the Kingdom of the Netherlands but are fully autonomous in internal affairs,
and constitutionally equal with the Netherlands and Aruba.
The Sovereignty of the Kingdom of the Netherlands lies with the Head of
State, (the Queen of the Netherlands). In the Netherlands Antilles the head
of the State is represented by a Governor. The executive power of the
Netherlands Antilles in internal affairs rests with the Governor and the
Council of Ministers, who together form the Government.
The Council of Ministers are responsible to a unicameral legislature (States)
consisting of 22 members (14 from Curacao, 3 from Bonaire, 3 from Sint
Maarten, and 1 each from Saba and Sint Eustatius) elected by universal
suffrage.
The executive power in external affairs is vested in the Council of Ministers
of the Kingdom in the Netherlands, in which a Minister Plenipotentiary
represents the Netherlands Antilles with full voting power.
The Netherlands Antilles consists of five islands, of which each island is
autonomous as regarding it’s internal affairs. A Lieutenant Governor and an
Executive Council administer each island.

Introduction
The statistical information on education contains data on:
-
the enrollment of pupils/students in the different types of education
the material means (schools/institutions)
the human resources (teachers)
the number of students that have graduated
The figures in this publication regard only full-time regular education. That
is, educational programs in which pupils/students take a fixed number of
lessons at a day school or institution during a week and for a complete
academic year.
In table 1 the participation of the pupils/students at the different levels of
education and the supply of material facilities and human resources are
presented for each island. Should an educational facility not exist in one
island, students may enroll in an educational program in one of the other
islands.
Table 2, 3 and 4 give information on the number of students that have
graduated from high school, vocational education and university.
Important to mention is that the last ten years different innovations in the
field of education were introduced. It started in 1998 with the introduction
of the Basisvorming (Basic Secondary Education) which covers the first two
years of secondary education. Next followed the introduction of HAVO/VWO
nieuwe stijl (the renewed Senior High school) where students have to choose
profiles which fit their interests and future plans. In 2002 the concept of
Funderend Onderwijs (Foundation Based Education) was introduced. The
former kindergarten and primary education were merged into one system.
This system consists of two cycles: the first cycle is meant for children age 4
to 8 and the second cycle for children age 9 to 12. Foundation Based
Education is in the process of introduction and has not been fully
implemented yet. After Foundation Based Education children enroll in Basic
Secondary Education. In 2002 VSBO (Preparatory Secondary Vocational
Education) replaced the MAVO and BVO (Secondary Education) and is
functioning as a preparatory school for the SBO (Senior Secondary Vocational
Education). The latter was introduced in 2004 as a replacement for the MBO
(Senior Secondary Vocational Education).
As a consequence of the many changes in the educational sector it is not
always possible to present statistical information on education in a
consistent manner.

Introduction
This chapter presents labor market data for the Netherlands Antilles and the
distinctive islands. The data is taken from different sources, of which the
most important ones are the Population and Housing Census and the Labour
Force Sample Surveys.
The Census of 2001 serves as a benchmark for sample surveys such as the
Labour Force Sample Survey.
CBS conducts every year a Labour Force Survey on Curaçao and every other
year on the islands of Bonaire and St. Maarten.
Data on wage costs are derived from the 2005 National Accounts Survey .
Additional information on labour market issues originates from the
Department of Labour and Social Affairs, the Curaçao Labour Office, and the
Government Mediator.

Introduction
Trade statistics are economic statistics, which serve a variety of needs. The
trade flow of goods is analyzed using various adopted commodity
classifications, which have different levels of detail and classification
criteria.
The foreign trade statistics of the Netherlands Antilles are compiled as
secondary statistics derived mainly from customs documents. Import
statistics cover all goods cleared through customs for home use from abroad
or from national free zone. Export statistics cover all goods of national
origin to be dispatched to another country. This coverage is consistent with
the so-called "Special Trade System".
For various reason certain goods, such as monetary gold, are excluded from
the foreign trade statistics according to the United Nations
recommendations. All movements of goods in free circulation between
Curaçao and Bonaire are excluded. One has to bear in mind, however, that a
portion of the foreign trade of Bonaire goes through Curaçao and is
therefore also excluded. The islands of St. Maarten, St. Eustatius, and Saba
are free ports. For these three islands no information is collected with the
exception of the exports between Curaçao, Bonaire, and St. Maarten.
The commodity classifications for both the import and export trade
statistics are based on the Standards International Trade Classification
(Revised 3).
The valuation of commodities is based on C.I.F. (Cost of Insurance and
Freight) for imports and F.O.B. (Free on Board) for exports.
This chapter deals with trade statistics over the period of 2006 through
2008. Table 1 provides general overview of the import and export data.
Tables 2 and 3 provide the import and export data segmented by
commodity. In tables 4 and 5 the import and export segmented by
commodity of the Curaçao free zone are shown.

National Accounts
Introduction
Economic activities in a country are characterized by numerous transactions
between different sectors, namely the government, the financial and nonfinancial sector, the household sector, the non-profit institutions and the
rest of the world. In order to understand this complex economic process, it
is important to have an adequate system. National accounts provide this
insight for they give an overview of the economic process in a certain year.
This overview is based on an international system of definitions and
classifications, the System of National Accounts.
In 1993 the revised version of the System of National Accounts namely the
System of National Accounts 1993 (SNA93) was introduced and published as a
joint production of the United Nations, the International Monetary Fund, the
Commission of the European Communities, the Organization for Economic
Co-operation and Development, and the World Bank.
The SNA93 is an improvement compared to the previous version (SNA68) in
terms of updating, clarification, simplification and harmonization. It
provides a comprehensive, consistent and flexible set of macro-economic
accounts, which can be used for economic analysis and policy purposes. This
System was recommended for use to all member states, also for
comparability purposes.
The SNA93 provides a comprehensive accounting framework within which
economic data can be compiled and presented in a format that is designed
for purposes of economic analysis, decision taking and policy-making. Since
the accounts are usually compiled for a couple of years, they can also be
used for analyzing economic developments over time.
The compilation of national accounts in the Netherlands Antilles is
momentarily in a transition phase. Given the comprehensiveness and
complexity of the System, it was decided to gradually update all tables and
publications according to the System of National Accounts 1993

Introduction
Prices of goods and services are constantly subject to change for various
reasons. Price indices aim at providing a summary overview of these price
changes. The Consumer Price Index reflects the changes in the prices of a
basket of goods and services as consumed by family households in a certain
base period. The Consumer Price Index is widely used as an indicator of
inflationary trends in the economy and serves as a cost-of-living index.
The first Consumer Price Indices were calculated back in 1949 for Curaçao and
Aruba. The first modern Consumer Price Index was computed in 1975 after
completion of the first general household expenditure survey in the
Netherlands Antilles in 1974. The household survey has been the base for
calculating the consumer price indices ever since.
At present, the Central Bureau of Statistics calculates Consumer Price Indices
based on the latest household expenditure survey in 2004/2005 for Curaçao,
Bonaire and St. Maarten separately.
Although price series based on the entire population (all households) are
calculated and published, the Central Bureau of Statistics can calculate, upon
request, special series of Consumer Price Indices.
At this moment, requests for series on households with a household income
below and above the median income will be honored.
Table 1 presents historical series for Bonaire, Curaçao and Sint Maarten
respectively. These figures comprise end-of-year indices. All other tables
present annual averages of consumer price indices.
Price movements in a whole year are best described by annual averages.
Comparison of annual averages also gives a better indication of the long-term
development of prices than comparison of monthly figures.

Social Affairs
Introduction
The statistical data on social affairs give an indication of the way in which
people are accommodated within the social security system of the
Netherlands Antilles.
Within the social security system each family is guaranteed at least a
minimum of resources to meet his basic needs.
There are different governmental services which provide income security
and social need facilities, directed towards particular target groups.
In table 1 and 2 the various social securities are described in terms of
number of premiums received, amounts paid out, and persons receiving
social securities by the Social Security Bank. The elderly, the widows and
orphans, and also employed people working in the private sector make use
of the social securities.
At the age of 60 residents of the Netherlands Antilles can apply the General
Old Age Insurance (AOV). The employed population in the private sector
falls under the health Insurance until a certain maximum of income.
However, all employees in this sector are covered by an Accident Insurance.
In 1996 the following developments occurred in the social security system of
the Netherlands Antilles. Employees' family members are also insured for
health expenses. Women have received an independent right to an old age
pension. Men are currently also receiving a widower's pension.
Table 3 shows the level of minimum wages per hour for the five islands.
Within the scope of income security services different financial assistance
facilities exist. Financial benefits are supplied to those individuals who are
most in need of support, i.e. the unemployed. They receive a welfare
benefit ("onderstand") and free medical assistance ("P.P.-kaarten"). (Tables
4 - 7)
Tables 8, 9 and 10 show the amount of assigned requests for free legal
assistance ("KRB").

Justice and Security
Introduction
The criminal justice system consists of several institutions; the police, public prosecutor,
the courts, prison and the non-custodial institutions.
Besides there are institutions like the Guardianship Board that takes care of cases
concerning guardianship, alimony, ect.
The data presented in this publication do not reflect the existing bodies in the field of
crime and justice.
The crime statistics cover the crimes reported by the police.
About the crimes reported to the police it must be said that the statistics do not include
figures from all the departments. Statistics about e.g. drugs and traffic offences are not
included.
Besides the police figures this section contains tables presenting some results of the victim
survey held in the past years, of which the most recent one was in 2008.
Although more people have been victimized during the years, the experience for Bonaire
and Curaçao is of a less recent nature. Theft characterizes crime in Bonaire, Curacao and
Sint Maarten. In Curaçao the percentage of victims that did report a crime, remained more
or less the same. For Bonaire and Sint Maarten the percentage has dropped, compared to
the last survey.
