Table explanation


This table contains the dynamic purchasing power of people in the Caribbean Netherlands; the islands of Bonaire, St. Eustatius, and Saba. Persons are differentiated according to sex, position in the household and household characteristics age main earner, main income source and income level. The income level quartile groups are determined per island, since the income differences between the islands make a classification for the Caribbean Netherlands as a total difficult to interpret.

Population:
The population consists of the people in private households with income observed. The reference date is December 31 of the year under review.

Data is available starting from:
2012.

Status of the figures:
The figures for 2012 to 2021 are final.
The figures for 2022 are provisional.

Changes June 28, 2024:

The final figures for 2021 and the provisional figures for 2022 are added.

When will new figures be published?
New figures are expected in September 2025.

Description topics

Median development purchasing power
Purchasing power is defined as the equivalised household income adjusted for price developments, which are based on the consumer price index (CPI). Purchasing power is used to determine income changes (in real terms), but may also be used to determine (developments in) differences in prosperity between individuals or households.

The development is measured by the median change in purchasing power. The median is defined as the value separating the higher half from the lower half. In simple terms, it may be thought of as the 'middle' value of a data set.

Persons with purchasing power decrease
Percentage of the selected (sub)population with decreasing purchasing power.
