Migration trends
Suriname's diaspora is unusually concentrated in one place: of the roughly 258K Surinamese living abroad, about 177.2K are in the Netherlands, the former colonial power, far ahead of France and French Guiana. That diaspora is many times the country's small foreign-born population of 30.5K, and it has grown 8% over the past decade.
