Labour Force Survey Caribbean Netherlands

Every two years, Statistics Netherlands conducts the Labour Force Survey for the Caribbean Netherlands on Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba.
The survey includes questions such as: Are you in paid employment or seeking work? Or are you retired? Are you enrolled in an educational programme? Are you doing volunteer work?
The results provide essential information for, amongst others, local government organisations when drawing up plans for the future.

What is the purpose of this survey?

The survey provides data on, amongst other subjects, employment, childcare and educational attainment on Bonaire, St Eustatius and Saba. This data is essential for policy-making on the islands.

Why have I been selected?

Statistics Netherlands (CBS) has selected a number of random addresses, and we ask people aged 15 years and older registered at these addresses to participate in this survey. The addresses of the persons we have invited are spread across all the islands. Not all households can take part in this survey. This is why your participation is very important: you represent a large number of other people living on the island.

Your data is safe

The CBS handles your data with care. Your personal data will be separated from your responses. Please refer to the web page Privacy for information on how we handle your data.
