News report, citing Statistics Netherlands (CBS) data, on the scale of Surinamese emigration to the Netherlands: about 40,000 people in 1975 alone (the peak year), roughly 110,000 Surinamese resident in the Netherlands by 1975 rising to about 145,000 by 1980, and a second migration spike in 1979-80 as a five-year window to opt for Dutch citizenship after independence expired.
