title: [Moslems and Hindus in the Netherlands:  revised time series].
abstract: Estimates of the numbers of Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist residents of the Netherlands are presented and techniques for producing such estimates described.  "Since 1971...estimated numbers of Moslems and Hindus/Buddhists have been...computed annually with the aid of data taken from the international migration statistics.  Population growth due to births and deaths was calculated by assuming that the crude rates for Turks, Moroccans, [Tunisians], Pakistani and Indonesians living in the Netherlands apply to the Moslems, and those for the Surinamese apply to the Hindus/Buddhists.  More recently other estimates have been achieved on the basis of enumerations from municipal population registers." (SUMMARY IN ENG)
