Having poor [[soil]] and aridity, [[Aruba]] was detached from [[plantation]] economics and the [[slave trade]]. In 1515, the [[Spain|Spanish]] transported the entire population to [[Hispaniola]] to work in the [[copper]] [[mining|mines]]; most were allowed to return when the mines were tapped out. The [[Netherlands|Dutch]], who took control a century later, left the [[Arawaks]] to graze livestock, using the island as a source of meat for other Dutch possessions in the Caribbean. The Arawak heritage is stronger on Aruba than on most Caribbean islands. |

The population is estimated to be 75% mixed European and Amerindian, 15% Black and 10% other ethnicities. Although no full-blooded [[Native American (Americas)|Aboriginals]] remain, the features of half of the islanders clearly indicate their genetic [[Arawak peoples|Arawak]] heritage{{citation needed|date=September 2021}}. The population is mainly descended from [[Caquetio|Caquetio Indians]], [[Dutch people|Dutch]], [[Spaniards|Spanish]], [[Afro-Caribbean people|Afro-Caribbeans]] and to a lesser extent from the Portuguese, English, French, Italian, German, East Indian, Lebanese, Chinese, Javanese and Filipino diasporas. |
|||
Recently, there has been substantial immigration to the island from neighboring mainland American and Caribbean nations, possibly attracted by the higher paid jobs. In 2007, new immigration laws were introduced to help control the growth of the population by restricting [[foreign worker]]s to a maximum of three years residency on the island. Demographically, Aruba has felt the impact of its proximity to Venezuela. |
|||
Many of Aruba's families are partially or fully descended from [[Venezuelans|Venezuelan]] immigrants. There is a seasonal increase of Venezuelans living in second homes. Due to Aruba's proximity to [[Colombia]], many [[Colombians]] and their descendants reside in [[Aruba]]. Descendants of colonial era [[Indian people|Indian]] and [[Javanese people|Javanese]] contract workers also live in [[Aruba]]. |
|||
The two official languages are the [[Dutch language]] and the predominant, national language [[Papiamento]], which is classified as a [[creole language]]. This creole language is formed primarily from 16th century [[Portuguese language|Portuguese]], and several other languages. Spanish and [[English language|English]] are also spoken. Islanders can often speak four or more languages. |

Having poor soil and aridity, Aruba was detached from plantation economics and the slave trade. In 1515, the Spanish transported the entire population to Hispaniola to work in the copper mines; most were allowed to return when the mines were tapped out. The Dutch, who took control a century later, left the Arawaks to graze livestock, using the island as a source of meat for other Dutch possessions in the Caribbean. The Arawak heritage is stronger on Aruba than on most Caribbean islands.
The population is estimated to be 75% mixed European and Amerindian, 15% Black and 10% other ethnicities. Although no full-blooded Aboriginals remain, the features of half of the islanders clearly indicate their genetic Arawak heritage[citation needed]. The population is mainly descended from Caquetio Indians, Dutch, Spanish, Afro-Caribbeans and to a lesser extent from the Portuguese, English, French, Italian, German, East Indian, Lebanese, Chinese, Javanese and Filipino diasporas.
Recently, there has been substantial immigration to the island from neighboring mainland American and Caribbean nations, possibly attracted by the higher paid jobs. In 2007, new immigration laws were introduced to help control the growth of the population by restricting foreign workers to a maximum of three years residency on the island. Demographically, Aruba has felt the impact of its proximity to Venezuela.
Many of Aruba's families are partially or fully descended from Venezuelan immigrants. There is a seasonal increase of Venezuelans living in second homes. Due to Aruba's proximity to Colombia, many Colombians and their descendants reside in Aruba. Descendants of colonial era Indian and Javanese contract workers also live in Aruba.
The two official languages are the Dutch language and the predominant, national language Papiamento, which is classified as a creole language. This creole language is formed primarily from 16th century Portuguese, influences from Spanish, Dutch and several other languages. Spanish and English are also widely known and spoken. Aruban people can often speak four or more languages.
Many people in the Aruba island culture are multilingual, meaning they can speak three to four languages. The most prominent languages on Aruba being Papiamento (the local language), Dutch, English and Spanish. All 3 ABC islands (Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao) speak the languages listed above.[2] There are also smaller communities of Portuguese, French and Chinese speakers.
Children in Aruba are known to start school by the age of four and are commonly known to be multilingual by this time. Although main languages for Aruba are Papiamento and Dutch, English and Spanish is taught through education when reaching the sixth grade. French is also taught as an optional subject in higher levels of education.
Roman Catholicism is the dominant religion, practiced by about 75% of the population. Various Protestant denominations are also present on the island.[3]
Population
The estimated population as of 2021 is 106,537, per the 2022 revision of the World Population Prospects[4][5]. The population is of mixed ancestry, including Caquetio Indians, Africans, and Europeans.[6] Between 1985 and 1987, the population declined due to emigration, but in 1990 this trend was reversed due to the development of the oil industry.[7]
