Labour Force Survey Caribbean Netherlands

Are you in paid employment? Are you retired? Are you taking a training course? Are you without a job? Or perhaps you are doing volunteer work?

These kinds of questions are covered in the Labour Force Survey Caribbean Netherlands. A survey which is conducted once every two years on Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba. The results of the survey provide essential information for, among others, the Central Government and other public organisations in the islands.

How do I participate?

Did you receive an invitation to participate in this survey? An employee of Statistics Netherlands (CBS) will visit you at your home to complete the questionnaire together with you.

Do you first want to know more? Then please read on. 

Why this survey?

We use this survey to collect statistics on, among others, employment, the employed labour force, unemployment, housing situation, moving desires and the level of education on Bonaire, St. Eustatius and Saba. These statistics are essential for making policy on the islands. Local governments can use these statistics but also for instance ministries such as Sociale Zaken en Werkgelegenheid (Social Affairs and Employment) and Onderwijs, Cultuur en Wetenschap (Education, Culture and Science). 

Why have I been selected?

The CBS selected a number of random addresses and we invite the persons aged 15 years and older living at these addresses to participate. The addresses of the persons whom we invited are spread across all islands. Not all households can be involved in this survey. Therefore your participation is very important: you represent a large number of other people living on your island. 

Your data are 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.
