Exploring the world, studying abroad or working elsewhere are the reasons that were mentioned the most often. Around a quarter of school students do not enjoy life on the islands. On Bonaire in particular, the number of young people has been falling since 2011 - and this trend is likely to continue over the next decade. This is according to a survey conducted by Statistics Netherlands (CBS), which resulted in the 2025 edition of The Caribbean Netherlands in Numbers.
