title: [Trends in the immigration of Surinamese people since 1980].
abstract: "In explaining the changes in the immigration pattern of Surinam [to the Netherlands] it is important to take into consideration that the age structure of the Surinamese population in the Netherlands and in Surinam are similar.  The age group 15-44 years is relatively large.  Because of family-formation migration, the age structure can be considered as a demographic pull-factor.  In 1983 and 1987 the political situation in Surinam may explain increases in migration.  In the last months of 1993 there was a sharp increase in immigration that cannot be explained by the political situation.  The economic situation has grown much worse...particularly since 1991.
