[[File:Suriname demography.png|thumb|The population of Suriname from 1961 to 2003, (in units of 1000). The slowdown and decline in population growth from ~1969-1985 reflects a mass migration to the Netherlands.]]
According to the 2012 census, Suriname had a population of 541,638 inhabitants.<ref name="statistics-suriname1"/> The Surinamese populace is characterized by its high level of diversity, wherein no particular demographic group constitutes a majority. This is a legacy of centuries of Dutch rule, which entailed successive periods of forced, contracted, or voluntary migration by various nationalities and ethnic groups from around the world.
The largest ethnic group are the [[Indo-Surinamese|East Indians]], who form 27 percent of the population. They are descendants of 19th-century contract workers from [[India]], hailing mostly from the modern Indian states of [[Bihar]] and Eastern [[Uttar Pradesh]] along the [[Nepal]]i border. Surinamese [[Maroon (people)|Maroons]], whose ancestors are mostly runaway slaves that fled to the interior, comprise the next largest group at 21.7 percent; they are divided into five main groups: [[Ndyuka people|Ndyuka]] (Aucans), [[Kwinti]], [[Matawai people|Matawai]], [[Saramaka|Saramaccans]] and [[Paramaccan]]s. Surinamese [[Creole peoples|Creoles]], mixed people descending from African slaves and mostly Dutch Europeans, form 15.7 percent of the population. [[Javanese Surinamese|Javanese]] make up 14 percent of the population, and like the East Indians, descend largely from workers contracted from the island of [[Java]] in the former [[Dutch East Indies]] (modern [[Indonesia]]).

Other sizeable groups include the [[Chinese Surinamese|Chinese]], originating from 19th-century contract workers and some recent migration, who number over 40,000 {{As of|2011|lc=y}}; [[Lebanese people|Lebanese]], primarily [[Maronites]]; [[History of the Jews in Suriname|Jews]] of [[Sephardi Jews|Sephardic]] and [[Ashkenazi Jews|Ashkenazi]] origin, whose center of population was the community of [[Jodensavanne]]; and [[Brazilians in Suriname|Brazilians]], many of them laborers mining for [[gold]].
A small but influential number of [[White Surinamese|Europeans]] remain in the country, comprising about 1 percent of the population. They are descended mostly from [[Dutch people|Dutch]] 19th-century immigrant farmers, known as "[[Dutch Surinamese|Boeroes]]" (derived from ''boer'', the [[Dutch language|Dutch]] word for "farmer"), and to a lesser degree other European groups, such as [[Portuguese people|Portuguese]] from [[Madeira]]. Most Boeroes [[White flight|left after independence in 1975]].
