Despite its highly interesting social history, Suriname is only rarely considered in international comparative social research. The project collects quantitative survey data on social stratification, social mobility, migration and related social attitudes among nationally representative samples. This data collection is also aimed at integrating Suriname into the International Social Survey Programme [ISSP].The projects are funded by NUFFIC and VU University Amsterdam.
