In 2012, 31% of the inhabitants were born in Saint-Martin, according to the National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies (Insee). 32% of the population is immigrant. “The share of the immigrant population has remained relatively stable since the end of the 90s. On the other hand, the natives of Saint Martin have decreased over the most recent period. They are less than 11.000 in 2012, against more than 14.000 in 2007, in connection with their migratory deficit deficit ”, indicates the institute. Two-thirds of immigrants come from Haiti (38%), the Dominican Republic (14%) and Dominica (14%). Followed by Jamaica (4%), the United Kingdom (3%) and Sint Maarten (3%). “This distribution is fairly stable over time” mentions the Antilles-Guyana report published this month. _EH
